Just know beforehand that the removal of the center console, shift plate, and parking brake/armrest cover on 1977 thru 1982 Corvettes will be an involved process, and one that will also require the removal of the seats.
There will be no special tools required. A Phillips screwdriver, and maybe a couple of wrenches or sockets to remove the seats, and that's pretty much it. Lots of elbow grease, on the other hand, is a must-have.
Start by removing the seats followed by the console side covers (they are carpeted), from that point forward you will need to free up the console shifter plate and also disconnect whatever electronic switches may be attached to it, such as the rear window defogger, power window switches, cigarette lighter, etc.
And keep in mind that chances are if someone has worked on the car, you may encounter questionable hardware along with broken tabs or parts. Plastic trim becomes brittle with age.
Then again, you may be removing the console to repair or replace parts anyway, so this is the time to take care of as many failed components as possible.
Taking the center console apart is no small task, so make the most of this opportunity.
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍🏻

DISCLAIMER: Even though I like to wrench on Corvettes and most of my videos are of a how-to nature, I am not responsible nor liable should you decide to follow my musings on the subject.
The repairs and other work I do are for my own benefit and entertainment, and even though my videos may appear to give technical how-to advice, that's not my intention.
Working on a vehicle is inherently dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a licensed mechanic.
