Removal of center console for 365Gt 2+2

I am hoping that there has been a prior post with some helpful hints. I search Fchat, all post where on 355 and 308's. If not, any suggestions on the best way to accomplish removal and reinstallation as well as while you are in there would be helpful. I have removed the interior (rear seats, driver seat and passenger seats as well as all the carpets) for cleaning and re-dying the leather. Only the door cards left to finish. I am also in the process of modernizing the heat and soundproofing with all the latest automotive products to keep the cabin cool and installing a recondition Becker Mexico with all the latest bells and whistles (Bluetooth) along with rewiring and installing speakers (my F car had a radio with no speakers installed, go figure why I could not hear the radio! lol).

So to replace the radio and install with amplifier (located elsewhere in the Ferrari) the center console has to be removed. Helpful hints and experiences welcomed.

FYI I am including a picture of my handy work on the leather seats for anyone tempted to try an recondition their leather. I used Leatherique products only ( http://leatherique.com/ )

I had zero experience working with leather but follow the direction exactly as supplied. The results are outstanding, 10% my hard work and 90% great products. The pictures show well, but the leather in person is outstandingly beautiful and supple now.
