Centre console

[Leebob]

Can anyone help me in telling me how to get this out.Ive removed the gearstick gator and the 2 plastic nuts found underneath and the 2 Philips screws at the front end but now im stuck.

[Leebob]

Ok,so ive finally figured out how to get it out but how do I get it out over the gear stick shaft?

Found the answer to my own question and it was the strength of 10 bears.

it's a tight fit ain't it

[Leebob]

Yeah man.Had to shift into 4th and then just wrestle it out.

[Leebob]

Im dreading having to refit another one.

Whip one of your seats out, takes 5 mins and makes it hell of lot easier and quicker to fit the centre console

Hadn't planned on removing mine today but i did  wasn't to bad i found after removing the screws and plastic nuts pulled the rear section away then pulled Hard! on the handbrake  got the front so far then pulled to one side and took the handbrake off and eased it over the gearstick all done
