Default Removing upper console?

Yes, I searched, all I found was how to take out the entire console. I just want to remove the upper part. I know I need to disconnect the ash tray light and the cig lighter, but after that, do I just pry up on the upper portion with a flat blade screw driver or something to remove it? Thanks

lift up the console lid and there is two bolts, take them out. and use a little force and it will pop right out, the rest is held in by clips.
