How do you remove the console from a 2002 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab with a 5 speed manual transmission?

Answer 1

The flat panel inside the console has a removable cover over it and, if I remember right, 4 10mm bolts holding it down. Also on the shifter under the shift knob the decorative piece pulls down to allow you to remove the ball. I'm going by memory but I also think there are 4 screws going in (2 on each side) sideways that require you to access them either by removing the seat or at least getting between the seat and console. It sounds kind of tough but once you get started it is really not that hard.
