I remembered the trick to get the lock cylinder out, but after that, I'm not sure. I stuck a paper clip in the little hole next to the key and the cylinder is out, but I'm not sure what to do next. Getting ready to paint the dash. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | Not sure but I think it has a nut/keeper that screws on from the back. If you can stick a camera back there and take a photo and you should see it I think.
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

I think what I'll do is remove the bottom nuts, as I expect to replace all of it. I'll hang onto it all, just in case I need it. | | |
