I need some help removing the center console. I had all the screws out that I assumed I needed, but I think there is a bolt or screw into this metal bracket that holds the stock radio in. Am I correct or do I have to take out the plastic around the steering column, glove compartment, etc.

 

You do have to remove the steering column cowling, and also get a screw or 2 that are up inside of the glove box. I believe you also do have to pop out the middle part, and get bolts down inside, there is a metal bracket that holds the stock headunit and pocket.

 

did u check the DIY & FAQ section? i remember seeing a few threads in there that described how to remove the center console..

 

since you have 97, you should look up for this thread

searching helps to find such threads

 

Too bad that doesn't help me at all because you don't describe how to remove the actual console so I can get to the screws below the shifter.
