Hand brake handle

I just got the matching Moss wood shifter and handbrake handles.   The
shift knob is a no-brainer, but I haven’t figured out how to get the
stock plastic handbrake handle off- is the anything unfixable I can do
to it?  Does it just force off?  Is the new handle just a press-fit,
or does it need gluing?

Thanks!

    two methods are commonly used:
     grab and twist until the glue mazda uses breaks loose and the handle
    slides off (use a towl for grip if needed)

    Or grab a knife, cut down the length, peel back (this method being
    more permanent)

    Hope this helps,
