Have a quick question regarding removing the rubber boot from the CDL. The person that had my disco before me put the wood paneling on the Center consol. I just got a rubber mat that I am going to install over the wood, hence I need to remove the CDL boot and am not sure how it is attached. The workshop manual is not much help. Anybody have any idea? I don't want to just start prying it off.

Thanks

Trevor

Unless the wood is from a Genuine kit, it is most likely attached with double stick tape.

PS:
Expedition Exchage (find web site in resources section under vendors) has an article about CDL install in a D2 in their tech section. Part of the article discusses removing the center console. Maybe it would help.

CDL boot on a D1 has preassure fittings on the edges in the plastic and then comes off when you unscrew the knob.
A gentle push with a screw driver will pop up the edge.

Evan,

"A gentle push with a screw driver" I take it that is at the bottom?

On a '95, the square base of the boot can be rotated about 45 degrees CCW. It pops right out of the plastic center counsul. The knob spins off with the boot.
