Default Difficult to remove the parking brake?

I want to temporarily pull out the parking brake handle and assembly before I put in my Speed inc carpet this weekend. Is there anything special I need tool wise? I havent really looked at it yet but can't imagine it is anything more than a few bolts.
thanks guys,
Chris

I do not know what is all involved but Madman had mine out in about 5 minutes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

It isn't that hard. The only tricky part is getting the parking brake handle to go straight up. You have to wiggle a screw driver and flip a paw thing out of the way. Do a search for shifter install directions and that will explain it much better on how to deal with the parking brake.
