Console, Front

Beginning a console replacement on big vehicles with manual or automatic transmission requires the removal of the front passenger bucket seating of regular cab models. The floor console attachment to the floor needs its fasteners removed in regular, extended and crew cab vehicles. You can remove the shift lever bezel and boot from vehicles built with floor-mounted shifter mechanisms. Use the console's front and middle sections to pop out the retainers before pulling the console away from the vehicle. To install the console place it on the floor while checking that retainers match the holes and the console bracket sits correctly under the seat frame. Use gentle pressure to strike the console until the retainers lock into place. After that install any applicable shift lever bezels and boots if needed. Secure the console bolts while you reinstall the front bucket seat if it needs to be reinstalled.

For sp, to change console for a small car with a manual, first, need to remove retaining strips from the shift lever boot and also remove inside rear seat track bolts from both front seats. Push up the console to release 4 retainers then take the console out from the vehicle. For installation, place the console to the floor panel with the retainers indexed in the corresponding holes of the floor panel and press down on the console to install the retainers. Be careful with fasteners to prevent vehicle damage and then bolt in seat track bolts for the front seats and tighten them to 53 nm (39 lb ft) and finally add the retaining strips on shift lever bezel.

The installation of a new console in vehicles with manual or automatic transmission requires starting by disassembling the passenger front bucket seat of regular cab models. Standard and crew along with extended cab vehicles require removal of floor-console fasteners that hold down the base structure to the floors. When your vehicle has a shift lever installed on the floor you must first detach its bezel and boot. Disengage the retainers by lifting the console's front and middle sections before removing it from the vehicle. To install this component position it on the floor panel then ensure that each retainer fits its assigned hole while placing the console bracket beneath the seat frame. After securing retainers with console pressure you should replace the shift lever bezel and boot if present then install console bolts. You need to reinstall both the front bucket seats if required.

Detach the front bucket seat fasteners that secure the floor console to the floor.
