Which outlet are you referring to??
The rear should just pull out and the front would require pulling apart the centre console.

the centre console one trev requires the following:

1. remove the two silver side pieces of the center console in upwards direction (fingers no tools should suffice).
2. remove the handbrake/gear shift surround by lifting the compartment lid and using same upward force.
3. disconnect plug for gear shift light plug underneath
4. upward force again to remove forward section where the 120W socket and 3 switches are.



if you look at the 12V sockets section of my buildup page there are some photos for the sections and how they fit together. (Note: the compartment does not need to be removed as it is in the photo).

the rear 120W socket may just pull out with a little force, otherwise the following:
1. remove the rear carpet trim plastic, 5-7 screws under the plastic caps covers.
2. remove the 3rd row seat latch (x2 bolts)
3. pull back carpet and remove the two screws underneath which hold the side panel in place.
4. starting from half way up in the rear the whole lower section clip fits and should pull out.
5. rear 120W socket should push out from the back.



be careful, the clips are easy to break so be mindfull of catching them during the removal.

If you have a look on my buildup page there are some photos toward the end showing how to remove the panels.

hope that helps...
