    take the two screws out of the console surround (the trim around the lighter socket) and pull it upward from the rear. It will unclip and slide up and out.

    you can get your hand in behind the lighter socket from there. There is a big steel nut kinda thing holding the lighter in from behind. and remember to un-plug it
