I am trying to replace the handle part that is leather on the Emergency Brake, but I don't see a screw or something as such to remove it.
Cany anyone point me to a How to remove thread, I did a search I nothing came up on this issue.

lol, sorry. no the push button dont have to move i dont think. i've changed the handles before on other cars and they just unscrewed. just a little tough to first break them loose.

maybe get a towel and wrap it, then some vise grips and it should be able to break loose for ya.

"Why do I want to remove it..." well, so I can put a newer one on with having to take out the whole ebrake. I ebrake tends to curve to the left. I think the lady before yanked on it too hard. It needs adjusting. So the handle is leather and little scuffed. I don't know if I'll replace it soon, but was really curious as to how to remove it.

The handle slides off. I had to pry it at first with a flathead. it moves a little and then slide it off with brute f***ing strength. The button noise i fixed on mine with heat shrink tubing (black obviously) i used 1/2 inch and had to open it up a little more with needle nose pliers. Slide it down as far as it will go over the button under the metal and heat it till it shrinks. Use brute f***ing to slide the handle back on. No more buzzzzzzz
