Simon69 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have new carpet i want to fit in the Van, removing the seats and all the door surrounds is pretty simple enough, but how the how the hell does the center console come out (the part that holds the handbrake and gear surround) ive found the screw at one end but ive struggled like hell trying to work out how to take it out. ive looked in the how too guide and can find no reference to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Use a deep set socket, else its a real pain! & one screw in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Use a deep set socket, else its a real pain! & one screw in the back I used a a smaller shifter to back the nuts off enough to half fit a socket over.......btw simon do yourself a favour and cut 5-7mm off the bolts once the consoles off, itll make refittting 100% easier trust me.
