[DML] Re: Center Armrest removal

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Tom,

You will have to remove the entire console to access the arm rest
fasteners. The most difficult part is clearing the wire harness, vacuum
line, and accelerator cable lines that are routed through the console. 

Plan on taking your time; patience is the secret here. If you run into a
glitch feel free to contact us for assistance.
