Smile How can I remove center armrest assembly?

I have a 2007 Dakota SLT 4X4. I want to install a radio console in "between the two front seats". What is the skill level needed for this? What is the difficulty rating for removing and re-installing the center? I have had my truck for 3 yrs this October. When I bought it, it had 55 mi on the Odometer in 2007. I plan on keeping it. Who else has done this and where are the locations where it bolts to the seat frame?
Thank you

Has Chilton's come out with a 2007 Dodge Dakota book, yet?

check in the top of this forum, there is a dakota factory service manual. With over 5000 pages, you will never need need haynes or chiltons. Look for 2005/6/7 Dakota Service Manual

I found and downloaded the 5,2xx page Service Manual. The center console of the one in the manual is different from my truck since there's no harness for my armrest assembly.
And, I am going to get me a set of metric offset "box" wrenches with the 60 degree offset. The area around the bolts won't allow a standard wrench to turn the bolt, but it will allow the wrench to make a connection with it. The bolts underneath are size 13 Metric.
This should do it for now.
I plan on keeping this truck for awhile.
Tnx for the info.
