ok, you have to remove the surround around the radio first, pull out the ashtray, and under it there are two screws. remove them, and it should pop off (trying to remember). after that, there are either 2 or 4 plastic screw retainers ( 1 or 2 on each side) down by the floor on the center stack, remove those, then slide your seats all the way back, and just in front of the seat bottoms, on the console, you should see a screw on each side, remove those and it should come off. then you should have access to your shifter surround. if you look under it, there should be a few screws holding the frame onto the surround, remove those to get the frame off, and put the new boot on. If there is no frame, then you need to source one from either the board or a local yard. Hope this helps, and hope that I didn't miss anything.

It worked easiest for me when I removed the e-brake surround FIRST.
