wooden center console and gearshift surround pieces, installing?
i got a set of new "wood" pieces for the center console and the gearshift surrounding. specially the center console/radio piece looks pretty hard to install, how do i put that in place? before i had the pieces in front of me, i thought that they are just thin little pieces that goes to the surfaces, but i was terribly wrong 
if anybody has done this job, and has some good advices to share or even pictrures, would be very helpful
the car is -98 V70.

the gearshift piece is held by 5 torx bolts, and theyre facing down so i cant open them. and the radio piece, i need to tear down the whole radio and ac panel to get to the bolts in the back of the piece?
seems like too much work for me, im not so good nerved with these things, ill just let it be until i get some pics or advice, so i dont break anything.

The center console is pretty simple to get out to replace that one piece.
But the radio section is what is going to be a pain.
For the console pull up the e-brake and then slide the little panel around the e-brake towards the drivers seat. Once the cover is out there is a couple of plugs you need to unplug. Then lift up the arm rest and in the bottom of the console there is a little cover. Pop the cover up and there is 2 8mm screws in there. Then you can lift the back of the console up and work it out. You will also want to have the shifter out of park so you can work the console out.

i will take a look at it again tomorrow. but if you also know something helpful about the radio piece replacing, would be really nice if you would tell me what i need to do.
