Hello all. I have to replace the plastic bracket that holds the three heat control switches. (heat contral left, center blower and heat control right). I've used the book to find the screws and have the console loose, but I think there is something I missed as it won't budge.

I removed the rear central console screw, two cap screws on either side of the drive shaft tunnel, and the the two screws in the foot wells on either side of the console. for good measure, I took out the passenger lower (below glove box) cover. It just doesn't want to budge!!

Any help would be appreciated and thaks to all.
