'65 Dart GT Floor Shifter

Sorry if this has been posted before. Tried to search but couldn't find anything. I'm replacing the cart in my '65 Dart GT and the last thing I need to remove is the center console in the hump, which looks like i need to remove the shifter to get out. I've tried everything I can think of, but just can't seem to remove the knob or the arm to get the console out. Surely there is a way to get the console out without destroying something! Thanks in advance!
