Help removing cig socket from center console I found a good used one today, i wan to strip it down, clean and prep.
All messages i've searched and read explain how to push in 2 tabs from the inside to release the socket into 2 parts. This is great for the cig socket on the upper console by the TCS switch.
But the socket down by the brake handle & floor is different. It looks to be a solid piece, there arent any tabs i can see to disassemble it.

Thanks for the tip! In looking at that tool, it looks to be the one to release the version with 2 tabs.
This socket is different and doesn't have them. Pics of the inside and back attached

Thanks for double checking...This socket is very different, the wires and connector being diff and it seems to be one solid part.
There are several vertical ridges that hold it in and tight against the plastic console. You can see some in the 2nd pic
