Console as in centre armrest area or stereo?

Stereo just remove silver trim either side and there are screws behind. Centre armrest push seats right forward and there will be a plastic cover on either side down low. Pop it off and there are screws behind them. Then pop out shifter boot and there are screws there/ just pop lug things depending on how much you are removing. Shouldn't be too hard to sus out from there.

Rear part of console, behind gear lever.....what pulls up or off first ?

So push both seats completely forward and there will be two plastic covers, one on each side, can't miss. Flip the covers off, and undo the screws beneath, that'll allow the back half to lift freely.
Front half pop out the shifter boot, flathead screwdriver down the between the silver ring and plastic surround and it'll ping off.
Can't remember if the screws you'll see in front of you are needed for this process, I had everything apart at the same time so they were needed. If not them then there is just a plastic clip like thing on each side to pry away. If you start carefully lifting from the back you should be able to see the ones that need to come out, a firm tug was all it needed to get mine up.

How does handbrake boot come off?

There are tabs underneath to remove it but i just pulled the whole console up and forward so the boot was then pulled over the handbreak inside out and it just slides off the end. Mine wasn't tight enough to cause any issues doing this

Ok, thanks.
