Gently pry it off. There is a small amount of adhesive holding it on. But be aware the repo ones differ then original in appearance

Clean off the adhesive that remains on the console before putting the new one on.

Very Easy......

There are 4 tabs that pass thru the console and are bent over.
You need to remove the console to access the underside.
There is no adhesive.

Thanks for setting the record straight. I was thinking of my 67 shift pattern plate.

This is another of the "one year only" parts used on a '63.
