You dont have to take gear knob off i asume thats what you mean by gearstick lol pop off the retaining bracket it will fit through the hole in the center parting without removing gear knob..

yeah you can just lift the rear of the centre console after removing the screws and wedge it up then extension plus 12mm deep socket. or 13mm!
but is this discs or drums at rear?...if drums, you want to adjust at the drums first then just take slack up with the internal adjuster
