Why do you need to remove the shift knob to remove the console? The bezel & boot pop out as one piece. Then you just lift up and out. You can then access the screws to the console. Unless you plan on replacing the knob, just leave it alone. They put so much thread lock on the knob, that you will not be able to remove it without damaging it.
