how to remove head restraint

[jamesmetairie]

98 lumina,(color blue)base model.
207,700 miles on it.
drivers seat shot.
today placed passenger side front seat into drivers position.
feels great.
closest junk yard match i can find is color "gray".
is there some special way to remove the head restraint from my old drivers seat.
i want to put it on the gray seat.
also=-
planning to try to install a pontiac vibe console i already have.
will try to use the original lumina matching (blue)top on it .
i,ve been spoiled. gotta have that arm rest.
and if that don,t work , maybe a junkyard monte carlo console.

There is usually a small hole in the trim ring at the base of the shaft that goes into the seat. A small tool is inserted into the hole when the headrest is all the way up to release each side of the headrest.
