OK, here we go...

DISASSEMBLY

For the interior bits, you'll need torx screwdrivers (T15, 20, 25), a small flathead screwdriver (for prying up trim), and sockets (13mm?) for the rear seat brackets.

1) Remove the centre console. See instructions here: http://atthetipwebs.com/technologyin...ock_repair.htm

The screws directly under the pbrake handle are easy to spot. The ones under the ashtray will want to drop; careful! And when you think you've taken everything out, but the front still won't move...

I lifted up the 'insert' first; pushed through all the switches, and then disconnected them from above. Some of this may not strictly be necessary, but some of my dash & accessory bulbs have burned out, and I view this as a good opportunity to change them all.

With everything undone, the whole console can be lifted out of the way, and the pbrake mechanism is exposed.
