you will need to remove the knob to get the centre off.
Lift up the gear gator, get a pair of pipe grips and grip around the base of the stick, not the knob, clamp them tight. Remove the ribon connector from the AC control.
Get another set of pipe grips and put a cloth over the gear knob and then unscrew, making sure the pipe grips on the base DO NOT move, your turning the knob not the stick.... Also remember, leftie loosey, righty tighty! You may find that you mark your knob if your not careful...
Once knob is off and the 5 screws from the centre console are removed, 2 forward, 1 ashtray, 2 aft, lift the centre console up from the back and over the hand brake, watch the front bit against your screen and also if you have the phone holder in the rear cubby you will need to unclip this. You will also have 1 loom clip for the hazard lights (and another for the heated seats if you have them)
And that should be that!
