HELP!! 2003 Explorer Sport Trac Floor Console Removal

[sporttrac2003rp]

I am in the middle of replacing my heater core - - - ugh. Found a series of videos on YOUTUBE that explained the basics, but now I've realized that I probably need to remove my center console. I can't pull the blower assembly forward enough to replace the heater core, and it looks like the center console is the reason why. I'm SO frustrated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I believe you lift the mat infront of the cup holders remove the screw inside the arm rest do the same think then the top half lifts off an you should see the screws inside to remove the bottom half

It has been a while since I pulled mine out

That's if you have the bag style console

That's the full length console

If its the full length console once you get the bolts removed. Put the driver and passenger front seats up all the way. Get in the back seat and pull the hell out of that thing. I was worried I would break it and tried taking it easy for about 3-5mins. Then said F$#$# it and yanked the S$#$ out of it. It's much stronger then you think so don't worry about getting physical with it a bit.
