   you have to take out the whole centre concole to get the vent out. it will unclip at the back if i mind right. as for the cage just take the sterio out and you`l l figure it out . easy

   it does come off. i think if you push the vent forward there will be a catch where it stops it from falling straight out. that will probable where you unclip it so it comes straight threw the console

   to get the middle fan out of the centre console, there are two little black pins that go into it. it basically hinges on them.

    Correct. The middle fan it held in by 2 small pins you pull them out to release the fan from the consol. Consol comes out once cd player is removed, and all screws are removed. (Most are underneath in sunken holes)
    
    To get your CD player cage out your going to need sony removal pins to get the unit itself out then the cage you will need to bend the luggs back down or bend the whole thing remove it and reshape it to put it back in.
    
    Hope this helps mate.

    When you take out the centre consolo its two little pins holding in the air vent it will all come clear when you take the consolo out and have a look.

    cage should just slide out if its the standard one, aftermarket ones then you need to bend back the lugs so it can come out
    
    as for the vent remove the the adjuster thingy by just unlipping it, then its just two pins on either side, use some pliers to pull them out, theres also 2 spring type brackets, make sure you know they go back in as its a bit fiddly
