good luck buying one

which bit is stuck? the top bit or the bit around the shifter?

eitherway, a flathead should do it unless your taking the clock cover off

there is a group buy :D

and it is the part that goes around the centre console...its meant to be one piece and goes from top left to top right around the centre console.

Open the lid of the centre console compartment and there should be a screw I think... also there is on under the cup holder, which should just pull out.
LED ALL the things.

your in Luck mate,

i just pulled it out last week

if you want to pull the centre console out (i.e the centre where the stereo is) its preety easy

you have to start from the centre glove box, take out the case and then you should be able to see your hand brake lines also, the cupholder pop the cupholder out and you should see a few screws that are holiding it in place, undo them and it should wiggle out.

Next, carefully take out the gearbox pplastic by lifting up it, it will then be stuck down by some electrical wires which you should have no problem pulling apart (just remember to know how to put it back =D)

After all thats done there should be screws holding the last piece which you undo and that should just wiggle off.
