remove whatever is in ur way, dont be afraid of breaking ur car first of all, remove ur seats if they are in ur way, but a short shifter is quite easy once i just go at it shouldnt take more than half an hour to do urself, dont have an accord though so i dont know what ur looking at but its the same for any car, remove center column by undoing the screws, undo the screws holding it down and undo the screws attaching it to ur shift linkage, and then put it back together without too many extra screws left over, enjoy

yea installing a short shifter is pretty simple if you got the right tools. 
ANyhow, what screws are u trying to remove? The ones to remove the center console? Theres just 5 screws u remove with a phillips and the console will just popout and the arm rest you just pull out.

hey man, a short throw shifter is easy to install on an accord. just remove ur center console and arm rest. then un bolt ur shifter linkage from the handle and install the short throw. the bigger bolt will go where the shifter linkage went then it will bolt up to the short throw and there will be an alen screw that holds the short throw on to the shifter

considering no one answered his question, i'll give it a shot. The screws for the armrest are under a plastic cover inside the compartment (you dont need to remove the screws on the side). Use a flat-head screwdriver to pop the cover up and pull it out, there is 2 philips head screws under that. You also need to remove the cup holder... just open the lid and pull it out. Under the cup holder is another philips screw that needs to come out. Then pull the e-brake up, and lift the console up and out. For the black radio trim piece, you need to remove the 2 philips screws where the 2 console pieces meet and one behind the ash tray. It then pops out of the console and you can disconnect the wirring.

Thats what I did... on top of installing a B&M adapter... its pretty sweet now! Just still have to come up with a solution for the shift boot, it sags into the console now and its just not somethin thats gonna fly with me.
