Hi jim lift up lid of cubby box remove the 4 x screws at the bottom of this pull up gaiter/plasic surround on hi/low lever and gearstick is the same then unscrew the kobs on gearsticks anti clock wise then lift up hand brake you will find a clevis pin and a locking tab remove tab lower handbrake pull out pin lift hand brake up then unscrew the 4 small screws holding the electric window switches in you can pass this through the console without disconecting the switches lift up rear off console side back and remove cigar lighter connections,then play about with handbrake until you can lift it clear hope this helps tiga.oh just lift rubber matting up as there maybe just 2 screws inside box and 2 more towards the front sorry been a while since i have done 1.
