- Unscrew the two screws on the underside (one on each side).
- Unscrew two screws at the top in the middle, and two at the top all the way out at the edges.
- remove the top cover.
- Unhook the two metal hooks.
- Unplug the three flat lugs and the other contacts.
- Use a mirror and a flat head screw driver and push the speedometer cable (the light blue thing)
completely off the yellow gray end that it sits on. Pry a bit at it with a finger so that it does not get stuck at the edge.
- Push the console a little bit toward the windshield and lift it carefully out.
