I’ve search this forum, and others, as well as scouring the manual to see how to remove the brake handle boot, but to no avail.
Does anyone have a good resource or a step by step guide for doing so? I need to do this in order to replace the carpet.

Hi Brad, the boot is wrapped around a metal base plate, you can just pull or wiggle it up

Thanks. I’ve been trying that, but since it’s been in there for 43 years it’s a bit reluctant to come loose.Jeroen wrote: Fri Jul 24, 2026 9:35 am Hi Brad, the boot is wrapped around a metal base plate, you can just pull or wiggle it up
