in the centre of the handle there is a black cap with a small screw at one side..remove the screw and then the cap comes off...under this there is a brass nut..take this off with a pliers or spanner and off comes the handle!!

Thanks Gearoid i should of wrote my first post a bit better im talking about the handle itself that is connected to the rotor arm thing :roll: there is like a rubber seal with a small hole in it, that pops out and then there is like a flat rivet..thanks again
