Center Console

Was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the center console in a 2000 standard cavalier. First of all how do i get the shift knob off. Then how do I remove the entire center section including the armrest and cupholders

To remove the shift knob there should be a U shaped retainer holding it in on the front part of the knob, use a small flat blade screw driver to lift it out.
