Removing Floor Console in 2003 Explorer Sport Trac

[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!
