It's really easy to remove the console.

1. Open the cup holder.
2. Pull upwards (on both ends of the back Left and Right) the wood panel under the shifter. It pops right put.
3. Remove the ashtray's removable tray.
4. Remove the two screws holding the ashtray down.
5. Remove the console above the ashtray by putting ur hand behind it and u will feel a clip on top, press down and pull forward.

Now you will have enough space to mess around.

You may want to do this with pics and I'll sticky it. Ok, I know it is very basic, but folks like pics.
