996 HandBrake Handle Replacement

All,
I was working on replacing the console of my 996. I put handbrake back in place, locked down 3 of the 4 bolts then lifted the handle to tighten the bolt under the handle. Well, apparently I don't know my own strength and actually broke the frame of the handle as I lifted it. I have the carbon fiber handle but bought a leather based one as a replacement. Is there a way to swap the handles? It looks like there is one major pin/connector (pictured) but I can't tell if this is compression fit or screw in. Has anyone done this and if so how did you do it?

Try Renntech, I can't figure out the issue from your picture.

Hit it with a big hammer and find out. I would swap the actual handle piece off the end, thus not understanding previous issue.
