How to remove center console on '98 Camry???

[Bruce W.1]

I have three repair manuals for my 1998 Toyota Camry, but the body
manual isn't one of them.

I'm trying to figure out how to access the shift mechanism in the center
console. It has an automatic transmission. The shifter is getting a
little stiff so I want to lube it.

I don't see any screws. So I'm guessing it just pulls apart, but I
don't really know.

Does anyone here know how to tear apart the center console on a '98 Camry?

Thanks for your help.

I don't have a 98 but on my 94 there are 2 screws under the little mat
at the bottom of the bin at the rear of the console, and 2 more under
the narrow bezel rim around the shift lever. To remove the bezel first
I gently pry it up starting from the rear edge.

Then for the front half of the console there are 2 retaining screws in
plain sight on each side. The rest of it is merely snap in and out.

Hope that helps.
