Remove 12v socket from center console bezel - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Anyone have any idea how to get this out? I'm going to paint the center console bezel to match my interior trim that I painted last week but can't seem to get the bloody socket out lol.

Here are some pics of what it looks like

Twist it and push it through from the bottom...

This, but there are two locking tabs on the side. You need to use a small screwdriver or something to hold them open while you're twisting

Not sure how to twist it... there's a little black piece that stops it from turning?

Look at the backside of the thingy and you should see two little black plastic pieces going into it. You need to pull/push those out to remove it.

This? Doesn't seem like it will push through. Sidenote: Apologies, this is the first time I've done this lol

pushes out from the inside I believe

ShadowPuppet · 06-01-2013, 03:18 PM

hmm we're talking about removing the whole thing from the center console right? Not just the metal part?

Ah nevermind, I got it now

Thanks a bunch!
