i want to take out the center counsel (armrest, cupholder, shifter area) i saw 2 bolts inside the arm rest but i dont know what else is holding it inplace. i think its clips.. but i dont want to break anything. if anyone has any experience or knows how to remove the center counsal please let me know.

thanks you.

 

the center console has a bunch not just 2. When you open the arm rest lower portion there are 2 that hold the arm rest on. Then there are 2 on the bottom of the lower portion of the pocket might be covered by a carpet. Pull out the rear vent should be a bolt there. Pull out the wood trim by the gear shift there should be 2 there and pull out the ashtray as well should be 2 by the radio. Note they are all 10mm bolts. If that helped you good if not I'll post up pics from the factory service manual let me know.

 

pics from the service manual will help more. iono how to remove the vent or wood.

Thanks in advance

 

the vent just pulls out. you have to use a flathead with tape around the edge and just pry its clipped in. the wood trim pulls out its also clipped you open the arm rest and use the screw driver around where the wood ends. just dont pull too hard as you have to disconnect the wiring for the buttons. I'll update this thread with the service manual pics tomorrow after school.
