Removing and replacing cigarette lighter

[TegGirl]

Okay so I just took my center console out in order to replace my shifter boot. I am all finished with that task and it looks great but I figured while my console was already out I would go ahead and remove my cigarette lighter because it is bad and rusted and needs to be replaced. I disconnected a couple of wires but I cannot figure out how to get the dang thing out of my console. Help? Pictures would be amazing.

That showed how to take the console out and replace the radio and stuff but nothin about getting the cigarette lighter out of its holder. I have the ashtray and lighter peice of the console removed from the rest of the console I just can't figure out how the actual lighter peice comes out

the wires on the back of the lighter housing simply pull off the one on the tip just slides over the threads. once you remove the wires you'll find a metal shell on the lighter, just grab it with your hand and unscrew it. basically the plastic is sandwiched between the two halves of the lighter socket which just screw together.
