ACS Brake Handle Help
Hi guys,
For those of you who replaced your pedals with ACS aluminum pedals: Seems like an easy enough thing to do, but I can't figure it out. The new handle comes with three holes for screws, but I can't find them in the OEM handle. I've got the leather cover off, but I can't find where I need unscrew the brake handle cover. Do I have to peel the cover completely off (meaning, tearing the stitches and taking the whole cover off?) Help?  Juan

That’s cause there are no screws on the OEM handle. Have a bowl of wheaties, then simply pull while twisting the handle outwards and give it all you got.

The OEM handle doesn't have any screws. It's just a "slip-on". So...to remove the OEM brake handle, just cut the zip tie from the cover and pull (or tug) it straight out. It's a bit tough to do, but that's all there is to it.

Thanks, guys! With your hel, Rob_'s help and JV's help, I got it out. I kinda figured it was tightly slipped on. I just did not want to start hammering without checking...

 OH YEAH, another thing: While I was putting on the pedals, the mail was delivered... and my chrome rings were delivered! So, OF COURSE, I had to put them on! After messing around for 20 minutes with no luck, I enlisted my wife to help me out, and after that, it took 10 minutes. Many thanks to JV for his article, and to you, Rob, drex, and ncx for your tips! You guys are great!  Oh yeah, drex: my wife said I should stop talking to you -- that you're the reason why I've got the mod bug. Now, I've gotta shower and get ready to leave. Merry Christmas, guys! Juan

Pics! I am jealous that you have a silver button on your ACS e-brake handle, mine is the orginal black one. That will bug me all through the holidays until I can find one!
 HA!Merry Christmas bro, hope you and Liz and the family have a great one.

did my X3 earlier this year
Not ACS, but M-Tec pedals and ebrake handle. Once you get in there, you'll figure it out. See attached pic of my updated interior.
Cheers!
