Could someone please advise how to remove the ashtray from a 1997 LS400? The cig lighter socket is defective and needs to be replaced.

I am a smoker, I can not remove my astray from 94 LS400 to clean the ashes. I feel very bad about this but I already ask friends try to remove for me but they also can not.

Stop by dealer a few times in the past but I forgot to ask. Please help so I don't have to make a trip to the dealer.

Thanks.

Slexus,

Can't you just vacuum the ashes out? Or just dump the metal ashtry part in the garbage?

Earl,

Thank you for your reponse. In the past, I put my nylon disposable gloves on everytime to clean the astray, vacumm is being clogged by the cigarettes butts.

I do not understand "Or just dump the metal ashtry part in the garbage?" Is this a JOKE, If it's sorry Earl I don't get it.

Thanks.
