Default Advice Please

Last week the service tech tore the leather on my parking brake handle while replacing my shifter. According to the service manual, the passenger seat, rear wheels, etc will have to be removed to replace the lever; however, there is a phillips screw located immediately below the handle of the lever on the driver's side beneath the decorative boot. Does anyone know if removing that screw will allow the handle to be replaced?

It's downsouthvettes that does the stitching, not Pipedreams. Gerardo is also a good guy and I'm sure if you dropped him an PM he'd give you the info you need.

Yes, just remove that screw and pull the handle off the parking brake arm. Takes a little force to do this.
Might be a good excuse to talk to Gerardo at Down South Vettes to do something like this...
