Has anyone removed the center console arm rest lid?

[PamAndJim]

I'm trying to get mine off now. I pulled the console apart, removed all the trim pieces that hide those bolts in the mounting bracket, and removed the bolts. It's all loose now, but I figure how to get it out. The opening in the back of the console is too small to pull the bracket through. I'll try to get a pic to explain. But, if you've done it, you probably know what I am talking about. Please help.

Here's the back of the bracket
And the front


That bracket needs to come through that opening. But, you can see the part of the inside of the console is blocking that from happening. I seems like the inside part of the console will come apart from the main console but I had to call it quits before I could figure out how to do it.
