Center Console - Frustrated

I've used the instructions from other posts about removing the screws and pulling straight but I feel like i'm going to break something. Any Ideas before I try to force this? I've removed the screws... Maybe the previous owner super glued it as a joke....

wow, those are some large pictures. If I remember, they kinda click in, so you may have to pull pretty hard on them. Make sure you're not pulling sideways though, as those hinges could break

you see how there are 2 parts of the hinge? The compartment door's section's hinge pops into the one that stays with the car. If you're pulling on it, you might see a bit of movement. They come out at a certain angle, you should be able to figure it out by angling the compartment door, and seeing if pulling on it would allow the hinge to undo freely, or not. hope that helps. I believe the compartment door should be about half open

Sorry about the huge pics. I didn't realize that until after posting. Reading your post now and will let you know how it goes.
