Centre console only?

4 screws down near the seatbelt anchors, two horizontal and two vertical. Vertical screw holes are accessed from inside the console bin.

Remove your auto fascia and T-bar knob first.

Pull diagonally up & out, and remember that you've got loom wire under there (for the rear vent light and presumably your Power button if you've got an auto).

Also put the car into 2nd or 1st as it makes it easier to get the console out.

No need to remove handbrake leaver EB5speed ;)

You dont need to take it out completely, just unbolt it and let it flop down. Theres two nuts that attaches it to under the dash, and another two or three at the firewall.

I want to replace that section on my car as well. Years ago, when my pranged the car, my knee went straight into the dash, cracking that section. I'm also interested to see how that bit can come out. I'm wondering, if you just unscrew the handbrake handle, is the cable going to pull through the dash?

Nah the rest of it will be still attached at the point it goes through the firewall, and underneath the car.
Ive pulled my whole dash out and just did what I said to do above, thats all you need to do.
