Hello, I’m working on replacing my parking brake. My question is what is the best way to remove the center console I know I have to remove the screw in the back which is in a very tight spot. It looks like to me I have to remove the storage compartments behind the seats to get to it. If anybody has any tips on this I would like to hear them. Thank you for your help..

If I remember correctly. the easiest way is to pull the whole compartment but you may be able to pull the jack liner out and maybe the center liner then reach in with a socket and extension. Some contortionists moves required but its doable. I had to go in repeatedly so I figured out a way without taking the whole thing out

You only need to pull the removable insert out of the jack compartment. Then you can reach in there with a 1/4" ratchet and socket to remove the bolt.
