complete removal will also need slackening of the 2 handbrake nuts you see in pic 2, if you dont slacken it you wont have the height to remove the console over the handle, eg. the handbrake needs to be raised high for removal of console, just have a quick look/feel how it is set (clicks) before slackening it off, mine is set to 2 clicks.
This isnt a hard job following the links and pics above, its what i used myself
Ive done mine a few times fitting new handbrake and the GT3 console delete kit.............

If its any help I didn't need to adjust the handbrake to get the console out of my 996, just a bit of manouvering and putting both seats flat back.

Yes, but on a boxster the seats dont go flat, the console is almost the complete length of the inside of the car
