I've no pics but I've removed mine and it's not difficult.

Unclip the trim around the gear lever/ashtray. Mine came off quite asily and if I recall correctly I used the ashtray hole to grab it by.

It moves upwards and back to begin with. There's no need to remove the gear knob as you can twist the complete console section out of your way.

Unclip and remove the trim piece which houses the cup holder and the passenger seatbelt light etc by pulling forwards gently. Start at the outer edge at the passenger door.

Now you can see the 10mm bolts which hold the heater controls in place - remove them.

Ditto for the stereo bolts.

Hope this helps :)

edit - you'll need a long reach 10mm socket or similar to gain access to a couple of the bolts - sorry I can't rememebr exactly which ones. And the heater bolts might be a smaller size.
