console removal - '98 TJ
 

I am dropping off the TJ either tomorrow or Monday to have the Rhino
Liner sprayed in. In the process of tearing out the guts, I have not
figured out how to get the shifter cover plate (auto tranny) off so I
can remove the entire console. I have all of the bolts out and just
waiting to lift off the console as soon as I can figure that out.

Is it tough to remove the wiring and tubing setup form the hardtop? I
sold my hardtop a while back and figured I might as well remove this
whil I am at it. I assume that it is just a few connection sot
disconnect, and then plug the wiper house fitting.

Argh- I snapped off one of the bolts for the rear seat bracket, that
should be fun to get out.

I will probably take some photos when I get it back before I put all
of the hardware back in for those that are interested.

I had the same problem when I replaced my stock console with a tuffy unit.
What I found is that you can't remove the face plate but can lift and tilt
it allowing the console to pass by it. It's fairly easy. I hope this helps
you.

I did figure out the 'lift and tilt' method and was able to get the
console out. The liner is done and looks great, now I just need to get
everything put back together. How do you get the seatbelts to release?
I need to get more slack so I can reinstall them, but I can't get them
to let out. Hopefully I don't have to un assemble them (if that's
possible).
