Question on the driver seat

Is there anyway to remove that little stub of an armrest besides cutting it off with a saw? I mean that dumb little thing is useless to me, and mine leans down on a slope to began with because I think the previous owner broke it. It also screws up the seat covers... Let me know cause I can not find any screws or any kind of a release for it.

I would guess you could just cut it off if all else fails. You could swap in a pre 98 center console which has the center armrest. Its much better than the post 98s.
