Default E Brake consol removal

Can Anyone tell my how to take the Ebrake consol out? I got the seat out
and the two screws out on the side of the consol. It seems like the only thing holding the consol is near the back of it. There is no screws near the back. I puuedd back the bottom on peeked up and see some bolts. That can't be when I have to loosen it, is it? Am I making it harder than it is?

Open the center door behind the seats. Down kinda far, you'll find a 3/8" or a 7/16" bolt that holds the rear of the console down. Tank

And this one was a pain in the AZZ for me. You almost have to be a contortionist.

I never said working on these C3's was easy now. When you put that bolt back in the console, use a 1/4" drive socket and a 6" extension, makes it a bit easier!!
