Default Help installing e-brake cap. Need instructions

Guys,

I just received my e-brake cap from APSIS and would like to know what is the best way to go about installing it. Do I need to take the e-brake boot off? Shall I use the same instructions as when installing a new e-brake boot?

Appreciate your help
Saied

All you really need to do is pull the boot down and uncover the screw that holds the e-brake handle on. Remove the screw and pull up on the e-brake handle. It may take a little force to remove the handle. Now you can change the button, put the e-brake handle back on, put the screw back in and pull the boot back up. Pulling the boot back up may be the hardest part.

Good luck.
