umm... the screws under the rectangular trim piece are for removing the center console. you cant get it off otherwise

STN_Pat

they have anything to do with handbrake cable or not ?

i definatly can't get em off. almost smoked my drill on em....

yea under that small plastic rectangle piece, to install my shift boot i needed to take those off (or try to) to get the front piece to come up.... you should be fine pat

I have incountered some that required removal of the seat to get the right angle to force em out with a screw driver. Those can be real bastards.

make sure the tip of the driver fits the screws properly

STN_Pat

it's still too cold outside to try to get em off and have trouble with em. I'll sadly keep the console on for now

Definitly, and make sure it has a decent sized handle you can get a good grip on, one of the softer rubber ones would work best.

will it affect my hand brake setting ?

if your talking about the 2 gold philips screws under the little rectangular cover under the hand brake...no..nothing will be affected....its just a cover...it has nothing to do with your brakes..

I've done it many times. If you are having issues with them I would recommend an impact driver with phillips head attachment.

STN_Pat

i'll try that. At worse i'll remove em the hard way and buy new ones.

thanks a lot

Yes, you are. You're thinking about the bracket that the E-brake cables go into.

They're talking about something completely different.

drown em in penetrating lube for a few days, then try breaking em loose.
