Yes, console needs to be removed.
Then, unscrew the three screws from the inside and it'll come out.

 

ouch......sounds like a PITA man

 

It's really not that bad, I take them out a lot I can probably do it in 3 min. It's just 2 clips down at the front, 2 screws at the back, remove the cover under the e-brake, lift the console, unplug cig lighter plug and aux plug up front and you can removed the console.

 

oh wow that sounds easy

Thanks

its super dooper easy. i took mine apart last night to change my shift boot.

 

Is there an easy way to re-install the clips at the front. They were a real PITA to put back in... I had to put my hand behind the console to separate the 2 prongs, it took me 10 minutes just to get those to lock.

 

honestly...i just let those f'ers go lol
installed my shifter hard mount and no clips in the front now haha
i hate the design of those stupid clips and they are EVERYWHERE
