Replace emegancy brake boot

My emergency brake boot needs to be replaced. What is the procedure for switching it out for a new boot? Is it the same procedure for replacing the gear shift boot? What makes removal of the the parking brake cover challenging?

I removed the center console and I don't see snap rings or where a snap ring would mount. Before removing the console, I pulled up the boot. It was not attached to anything but neatly tucked under the console. BTW there were two holes in the rubber boot. Each was caused by two bolts piercing the rubber boot , one located on each side of the base of the emergency brake, fore and aft. I'm going to rubber cap each bolt end to prevent a recurrence.

BlackICE Stupid: I never did recognize those spring clips holding the bracket around the emergency brake lever until after I R&R'd the console. I saw that it should be removed in the manual. I even looked at the underside of my console once I pried it off and didn't see them. Today after remounting the console I saw the underside of a console on the net and I saw those clips! Am I going brain dead? What a %@#!* getting that console off and on with the hand brake surround intact and avoiding console damage! Anyway the interior is finally finished.
