The ash tray was easiest to replace, for me anyway, with the console wood removed. A magnetic tip screw driver was needed to get the ash tray screws back in place. Lots of TLC was needed to make sure it went back in without shorting the cigarette lighter wires, as that pops miscellaneous fuses in the car!
