A while back BT93 and I needed to remove his AWD transfer case to get the top bolts that holds the case to the trans, it is necessary to remove the front seats, pull the console and fold the carpet back.
You will start with something like this:
Remove the passenger side seat, start with the front two bolts-
Then the back two- They have covers over the bolts
The seat belt track has to be un bolted next- It takes a torx bit. There is a plastic plug over the actual screw. The cover needs to be twisted while prying out to remove it:
The bolt behind the plug is the same torx bit size, remove that bolt, then the plastic that covers the bolt.
Last thing before you remove the seat, there is an airbag connector that has to be disconnected.
Pull the seat out the door with the seat back leaned forward.
Same basic process for the drivers side seat, just make sure you disconnect the power seat connector if you have a power seat.
Now the console- Remove the message center or cubby holes by pulling out and up.
Disconnect the Message center connectors if you have them.
Remove the back section of the console, the part with the cup holders:
Under the cup holder are two bolts- I believe an 8mm fits them.
Now, at the front of the console are two bolts and a bulkhead connector.
Remove the two 8mm bolts and disconnect the bulkhead.
Sit behind the console, pull it straight back-
Console Out
Pull the carpet edge threshold cover off- it snaps in the floor board and on the B pillar
Remove the Kick panel cover. The passenger side pulls right off, the drivers side has a plastic push retainer.
Peel the carpet back- no need to remove it, just fold it back.
You can remove the cover now- 4 bolts.
Pry it gently with a screwdriver-
Cover off-
Now you can access Oxygen sensor connectors, transfer case bolts and various other things.
Many thanks to BT93 aka Brent for his help with this, he did all the work, I took the pictures.
