Trick to Removing Parking Brake Handle

I'm in the same boat. I saw a pin press that looks promising but I don't know if the pin is the right dia or if the throat is the correct size.

I bought a set of roll pin punches to try on my broken handle once I have it out of the car.

The trick would be to keep the replacement handle from getting damaged taking it off

I decided when I change mine ill just remove the entire assy and replace it as a unit.
