How to remove Door pullstrap end caps on 1977 Transam

<< < (2/3) > >>

1977 Transam:
Door panels finally off!  Thankyou.

Trying to get the centre console out now.

Everythings easy apart from the removal of the gearshift knob.

Does anyone know how to remove the gearshift knob please?

Once removed I can lift the console over the lever.

Thanks.

Take two small flat blade screw drivers (or similiar). Insert under each side of the centre lock button and lift it up. Remove the button...watch for the metal retainer clip that slides over the end of the shaft...retains the button. Often it comes off with the button or falls off by itself.

Now, there is a circlip down inside the knob that holds the knob to the shaft. You'll need a set of circlip pliers to extract that clip...knob then lifts straight off.

1977 Transam:
Thanks Leigh.

Looks like I need to buy a set of circlip pliers.  There's always something missing from my tool set.

1977 Transam:
Bought the pliers this afternoon.  Clip came off the gear selector.

Got stuck again on something else.  Hoping to get this console off today.

If anyone knows how to remove the electricals off the power windows button in the console I would really appreciate the input.

Apart from this I'm noticing that the map tray below the radio is stopping the console from sliding out.

Not sure what's causing it because there is no obvious screws showing.

Please help..............:feedback:

The wires to the power window switch is a bayonet type of plug just pull it straight down and it will pull away from the pins on the switch.The switch will pop out of its retaining clip.
The console should come out with the map pocket still in place there should be a bracket with two screws fixing the console to the lower dash the screws will be under the ashtray on both sides of it.
