W124 center console switch bracket removal 1248210071

[moruzzi]

Pulling the interior of a 92 400E and pulled the center console switch bracket yesterday to access the two top bolts holding the center console.

Anyway, in getting it out I snapped the tab on one end. The part is number 1248210071 it is a glass filled plastic which was obviously to brittle to flex sufficiently. Any pointers for the next one (I'd like to not break the one in the car all the parts are going into).

My guess at this point is;
Pull off switches
remove switches from bracket - small screwdriver inserted next to each side and then they push in towards front of car
With switch body removed you can access center console tabs - push in with appropriate tool/screwdriver and the bracket should come free.

I did do a search and could not find anything.

I'll post another thread later on the dis-assembly of the parts car with pictures - name that component, parts to keep as spares, parts people might need....
