2005 Chevrolet SSR Cup Holder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace a Cup Holder using the J 45999 tool on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The exclusive tool J 45999 (Cup/Coin Holder Removal Tool) should be used when replacing a cup holder to protect the right knee bolster trim. Open the cup holder by pushing it and then remove its faceplate. Place both J 45999 tools into their respective holders until the scoring lines disappear. You should utilize the J 45999 tools by inserting one into the upper opening with the handle facing upward between cup holder and instrument panel trim to free upper plastic retainers. The second tool must be placed in the lower opening with downward facing handle to release lower plastic retainers. Pull the cup holder using both tools that remain in place to remove it from the I/P trim. To extract the cup holder start by uninstalling the coin holder faceplate with a flat plastic tool followed by using J 45999 tools to pull out the cup holder. Complete installation entails line-up between the cup holder and its I/P trim plastic retaining tabs followed by insertion to ensure the tabs secure the cup holder before adding the faceplate.
