Default E Brake button removal

I've read several posts here that to replace the button (upgrading to a CF dipped version) slide the e brake leather boot down, remove screw holding handle in place, then pull fairly hard to remove handle with button. Question - Not sure if a later year C6 is different than early years with regards to the button, as I see that the button on my 2012 has a small opening that seems to be a "release" of some sort. Will yanking it break this? Is their a way to remove the button without pulling handle off? Any help is appreciated, thx.

Yep that’s it. Pull on the handle and the button will pop out when it lets go. Takes a bit of force.

No sir, there’s no other way that I know of.

I don’t think there is enough surface area on the button to grab and pull. Not a big deal to pull the boot down, remove a screw, and give it good tug.
