Hello to all,
I'm in the process of replacing my handbrake as the plastic handle and release button were severely chewed by a dog.
I have followed the steps shown in the forums and watched the CollegeHill Honda video.
I have the front two fasteners, the rear screw, the little cover in front of the handbrake all removed. However something is still holding the cover firmly in place and it seems to be located just behind the shifter under the console...

Any one have any thoughts? (If it makes any diference I have one of the first months production 09 automatic sports sold in Oregon - actually recieved in 2008).
Thanks for your help...

Roy

 

Mine didn't come out as easy as shown in the College Hills video, but it did come out with a good yank. If you removed those two side clips at the front, and the bolt in the back cupholder,there should be no other hardware holding it in. Is it free from the shift bezel?

 

lift hard by rear pockets. large clip in middle underneath. pops right out.

 

Gentlemen,
A VERY firm tug at the sides at that point did pop the console loose and from there the rest all went smoothly.. I found the clip on the back of the console to be just below the release button on the front of the hand brake handle...
(I am impressed with how well the plastic parts all fit and easily go back together again).

Thanks very much for your timely help,

Roy
