How to remove center console

Post Fri Mar 10, 2006 5:28 pm

My heater core is leaking and i want to replace it, but i do not know how to remove the center console box. I was able to remove the back part holding the parking brake but the problem is under the dash, i could not find any screws, any suggestions with pics if possible.

2 cfasteners at front next to pedals on both sides.
2 screws above ashtray area on dash part-use a stumpy phillips.(face ashtray area)
1 nut 10mm at back ?

You dont need to take the dash out to do a heater core/matrix!!!
Just remove the centre console as above, and the brake linkage. Undo the the pipes, cover your carpet with plastic to prevent coolant going everwhere, and slide it out the side.

Think the phantom bodger might have been there at some time!

Yes - if you remove more than one above the ashtray, you're probably part way to removing the heater control panel!
