Default Center Console Removal

Can anyone give me an idea how much of a challenge (hemorrhoid) it would be to remove the rear portion of the center console unit (the portion inclusive of the storage area)?

You have to remove the radio surround first. After that the console base is a breeze. Radio surround is a little of a chalange, power outlet is the hardest. I broke mine to speed things up but not very much $$ to replace.

Come to think about it you might be able to just loosen the surround and pull the base out from under it.

Go to Paul Tallon's website for some excellent tech tips and
how to.
