This is perhaps common sense but its free advice anyway - if you fit a metal or alu handle, hammer it on with a RUBBBER hammer!

I've fitted a steinmetz handbrake handle and it fits really tight, and has got 2 grub screws underneath it for extra grip - but Id expect that for £65!

I used a large spanner - put it behind the hand brake and whack the spanner several times with a hammer. It's a tight fit. You might get a better angle at doing this by sitting on the back seat.

As i thought. cheers. is it just me but to remove anything in a corsa you cna use 2 methods:
1. heat witha hair dryer and twist
2.Use a hammer and screw driver.

If it won't twist off, get a hammer and screwdriver and hit it off from behind, if this fails, get the ever so popular hacksaw out.

Tip: may be easier heating it up with a hairdryer, this is what i heard.
