the dog house comes off in two parts, the first is the console, this is held on by 4 bolts (philips number 3), two in the ash tray compartment at the top (it you open the ash tray door half way you can see them at the top) and two at the bottom which should be easy to see. Once you have this free you will have to disconnect the cigarette lighter and maybe a light. The second part is the dog house itself, this is held on by 2 bolts (either 1/2 or 9/16) on the floor, one by each front seat (you might have to pull back the carpeting to see them) and two clamps that are near the top and clamp to posts under the dash.

Keep in mind that due to the heat the rubber seal on the dog house might be a stuck to the body and require some force to pull it free

After doing this, we had to remove the front passenger seat, which takes one person to hold a socket on a ratchet on the bolt under the seat (or a wrench) while someone underneath the van does the same on the bottom of the bolt; one of you turns the bold while the other holds the bolt still, or you both turn it in opposite directions until the bolt comes out! WHAT A PAIN!

I had this same problem and I agree-removing the seat to get the doghouse out is a major pain. When you put the seat back in install it in the bolt holes that recess the seat in the farthest back position it will allow. The seat will be closer to the seat behind it (but not overly close) but you will be able to remove the dog house without taking out the seat (it still takes a bit of jostling, but not too bad). As a plus, the front passenger gains extra leg room!
