Did this last night. Take out ashtray and 2 bolts beneath. Lift out carefully and put it to side. Take out console holding seat warmer buttons gently b/c all these have buttons with wires still attached. Put it to the side. Push forward and gently lift the wood console and set it on shift knob. You'll have a wet cloth to clean all the crud. Simple, approximate time about 1 hr- 20 mins to disassemble and reassemble. The other 40 mins will be concentrating on cleaning the crud underneath and having flashbacks of how all this crud got in here.
