Counters/Clocks Removal

Post by DanW »

Whos done it? I'm about to change my clock for a rev counter... but I can't find the tool to release the clocks.
Is there anything else I could do it with? (Brute force doesn't seem to work :P )

Gilex has linked you to my post where I was having trouble with this, so give that a read over, as it is quite helpful.

I ended up removing the stereo, then pushing the cluster to one side, then basically ripping it out! It takes some force but the clips evenually give way because its at an angle from pushing it to one side. You dont have to remove the steering wheel either, as you may have found.

Good Luck :D

Thanks everyone. Did anyone find a weird screw behind the hazard warning light switch?
