prolly should have researched that before you dropped some dough...heh. My guess is that it can come off....cuz why else would they make such a product?
as for HOW to take it off.....I'm at a loss at the moment...but my best guess would be to start by taking off the shifter bezel to get in there.

Sorry for the late posting. I have little to no access to internet on weekends, but I guess I will give it a better look this week. If it does not work, I guess I will not install it.

From my car, which is a GA, but should be the same, when we took off the non leather handle off the SE and replaced it with the leather one, well, lets just say, pull, and pull hard, twisting on the handle as you are pulling, it will come off eventually, don't know if the Alero is the same, but its worth a try.

^ I am guessing it should be the same. I am glad that you already did it though. If I have any questions, i will go ahead and ask you.

I just tried to install it. The OEM handle came out just how emncfi had stated, however, the handle I got, did not fit. The hole of the handle that the lever goes into was too small, thus it would not go completely in. So, I guess that it was a waste of money.
edit: Also, in case anyone wants to know, the handle comes off by itself, while the button stays on the lever.

Maybe I could grind a little on the metal off the lever to make it smaller, but I don't really want do mess something up by grinding where I am not supposed to.
As for what stays attached, when you remove the handle, the plastic button you usually push to release the hand brake, stays on the lever when the handle is removed.
