Rear Centre Console Removal

[ravencsr]

Any instructions on how to get the rear of the centre console out of a SSV Ute?

Not the shiny black surround around the window buttons and transmission, nor the front trims associated with the head unit area.

The whole lot comes out as one part from memory.

The front seems to be free, just seems like something is holding it at the back

found a vid on a G8 where they took the whole back assembly out, hope I can remove just the trim rather than doing all that.

Has anyone removed this piece ???

I have followed the repair manual and vid above, however, it still will not release.
I've got it to the point of it being loose and can move it a few inches back, however, I'm guessing the handbrake is still attached.
Any pointers on how to free the handbrake cable (and should you actually do this??)

Thanks

Update: Couldnt find any info (pics,vids etc) to disassemble the back cable, usb cabling in the centre armrest compartment etc so I just removed both seats and sprayed the parts I was wanting to paint within the car.
