E brake button broke off. Easy to replace?

I have 03 Boxster S and a piece of the emergency brake button broke off. Can I just replace the button or do I have to replace the entire handle? Does anyone recommend a good place to purchase this item? Is it relatively easy to replace on my own? I am fairly mechnically inclined. Thanks for the responses.

The button is actually press into position. Just slip into the grooves and hand press. you are done.

you just got the car and you broke it already ? j/k...you can try to push the button back in but it may pop out again. i doubt they sell just the button....more likely the whole assembly and not cheap [what is on a po]

Haha... actually it was broken when I got it. About half of the button broke off and so it's not a matter of just pushing it back in. I need to replace the button minimaly. Is there a way just to remove the button and replace? If not, where would be a good inexpensive place to purchase a replacement assembly?
