I found this great post below and used the attached document to get all of my console apart and ready to get coated in carbon fiber by SRT SIX's guys... They look amazing!

Im running in to a problem though now that I have the console apart I cant get the door off of the change drawer. There is a small metal rod/pin that makes the hinge. It looks like i should just be able to flex it off but im very wary of applying too much pressure and breaking it. Has anyone done this successfully?

Also the second thing is the air vents. The silver face has the louvers in it and i am having the same problem there. I cant see any way of removing them without prying them out, carefully. Im not comfortable with that and i dont want to mess them up.

Thanks

 

Cant you just send the ash tray in and have it covered?

To answer your question, the pin is knurled on one end. I used an arbor press and pin to push mine out when I had them painted. Having a machine shop in the garage is a big help....

 

I was wondering if i just sent in the whole unit if that would be o.k....... I dunno I would love SRT-SIX's input. Ill PM him.

Im still at a loss on how to deal with the vents because i have to get the louvers out so the applied graphics wont have a silver inside of the ac vent. that would just bug the crap out of me.


Ive seen other people's consoles after they have had a pattern applied. they had to remove those louvers , slats or whatever their called in order to get the application to look that good.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Pulled mine apart couple weeks ago. I think i just used the tip of one of the small torx drivers I bought to push the pin out of the tray door. (might have actually been a pen) As soon as the knobby end slides out you can just grab onto it and pull the rest out. As far as the vents I just flexed one out at a time on the same side then pulled the whole thing out. I couldn't really find a good way of doing it but I used a lot of force and they held together fine.
