Trouble removing interior centre column

[Crb]

Hi all,

 

I'm currently in the process of removing the interior plastics ready for dipping but I'm having trouble taking out the large centre console (the one with the 3 pods and cubby) has anyone who has done this got any tips for taking it out or am I missing something like any hidden screws etc Mine seems well and truly in there. Also to make matters worse the alpine head unit won't come out either. HELP!!!!

Pretty simple job, the electrical connectors being the hardest part IMHO, it gives you a little more room for working if you pry out the connecting wire loom at the top centre behind the dials.

Good guide on this forum as well.

The two hardest parts I found were unclipping the lead that connects to the 3 gauges at the top and then when everything was undone getting the metal cage that holds the stereo over the white plastic box at the bottom that I think holds the air con circuitry. I got round this by undoing one side of the metal stereo cage from the plastic dash.

Cheers guys...... All out really quickly, didn't think the head unit would be attached like that.

 

Now off to the dippers with them!!!!
