Taking it all out... (How?) Options

[6gcs3nz]

Hi guys

Firstly.. sorry for posting yet another interior query.

I've bought the materials/paints/spare plastic parts to practise on and have read a lot off this site on how to paint and take out our vents/inserts etc. Thank you all who have taken the time to write up How To's of these. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I still have a couple of questions for those who have done the entire centre console and the driver under side panel (Below the steering coloumn). So here are my questions :

1) How do you remove the driver under side panel (below the steering column)?

2) How do you remove the steering colomn and the plastic piece in the front of the counters ? (The piece that runs across over the steering coloumn and has the ignition chamber face)

3. How do you remove the entire centre panels? (The housing where the front ashtray and centre compartment is)

Are these pieces easy to remove? Would I need a jack-hammer?

Any help on these question GREATLY appreciated! Thank you all for making this site so damn addictive!!!

I'm going to start on the vents and the centre shift and stereo panels

Most of those parts should come off when you take the screws out. Just look around the areas, I know the panel under the steering wheel has screws you can get to if you unsnap the piece that has your headlight dimmer knob on it. As for the other stuff, it should be the sam, just look for the screws, maybe move some carpet or take out a seat to get a better look.
