to remove the Handbrake Cover you must do folowing:

2 screws in front part of the plastic, sorrunding the shifter
2 screws in the rear part of the plastic in the middle of the seats side
then discconect then in the middle (near the windows control)
u will see another screw in the middle that holds the first part of the plastic
discconect the plugin for the windows
start removing the plastic
(i advise you to remove the shifter before you remove the first part of the plastic)

about the weel i never did it so i cant help u

enjoy :D

the way i didit

desc on how to remove i posted to your post!

and about the painting!

buy good (not cheap) spray on sintetic base! it must be combined with the primer mix! (the primer is the thing that u spry on plastic before u spray paint! when the primer is dry than u use paint)

then in fast and shot waves spray the surface! do it patient and slow (like with a woman)
one layer after another!

if u cant find the right sintetic combined spray search untill u find it! ask in the stores for "spray for plastic" make shure it can stand heat! if spray sucks then u might get bubles and other ugly stuff!

Also im trying to remove the plastic cover thats over the handbrake, not the whole handbrake, but for future reference is the whole handbrake easy to remove if you wanted to replace it?
Thanks.

the screw locations are the same no matter what the model is...

there are two at the back (at edge of seats) and two up front (near shifter)



steering wheel is a pain in the butt, but it depends on if you have airbags or not. tell us that.

Steering wheel and gear boot removal...

Post by chooka_xx »

Gday
With the steering wheel, just pop off the horn button with a flat nose screwdriver. Behind that is a nut which is easily removed with a tyre wrench. The next part is quite tricky, you have to lever it off with a large screwdriver (or something similar). Use a bit of force as it wont be easy. Or before that just try banging on the steering wheel side to side or top and bottom while someone pulls on it.
With the gear boot, just pop off the bottom base (just clipped in). The old boot is held on by staples so just pop them off with a litte flat nose screwdriver or pointy nose pliers. The top has a cable tie holding it on which can be removed with wire cutters.
Goodluck ;)
Leanne.
