Overhead console removal tips

I need to fix the lie o meter in an 02 f250 CC. I have the how to for the fix but the console removal instructions do not match my truck. My overhead console has a sunglass holder a garage door opener holder, and the trip computer, any body have tips or instrctions to remove preferably without breaking it?

Just did mine a few weeks back. The clips that hold it in are strong. You have to give it a good tug. I thought by the sound that it was going to break. It popped right out. When putting it back it goes in just as tough.

I didn't see any release catches or anything so I guess just pull hard, did you pull the back down first or the front?

And thanks by the way.

I didn't see any clips on mine either. I grabbed it by the sides kinda towards the front and wiggled and pulled it down. Like I said I had to pull hard.

Not my pictures, but I found them extremely useful when I did my console and bookmarked them.
