Besides, taking the console out isn't THAT hard. The PDF is somewhere on the web (Marshall can probably tell you where) but, IIRC: - remove the front rugs - slide both front seats as far forward as they will go - remove the bolts that hold the inner seatbelt tie-downs to the driveshaft tunnel - remove the single screw at the back of the flat area at the back of the console - slide both front seats all the way back - remove the ashtray and the two screws that it hides - remove the radio - remove the gearshift lever - slide the lower wooden piece backwards and lift partially out - remove the switches and fader from the wooden piece and remove the wooden piece - there may be some bolts in the footwell areas (one on each side) - lift the rear of the console so it hinges on its front upper edge and remove the console Craig
