Removing center (arm rest) console

I need to remove the center arm rest console but cannot find any way to get the rear half to come up.

I've removed the inspection plate from the center - directly beneath the emergency brake hand grip and removed those 2 screws.

I've also taken out (perhaps needlessly) the 2 screws below the front ash tray.

I've removed the rear ash tray but there is nothing there to remove or unscrew.

I've taken the 2 screws out of the hinge for the armrest but they held only the armrest

The sides of the console have no apparent opening for rmoving any screws.

Any help would be appreciated.
