Title: how to take out stock radio?
Post by: euroZ06 on May 25, 2022, 07:31:18 PM
Hi,

So im trying to take apart my dash, and I'm curious how does the stock radio mount in there? I can take the four bolts that hold the bezel, but is the radio connected to anything else there?

Assuming its a second gen dash, aside from the bezel screws there are 2 bolts on the front and a bolt on the back that attaches to a support rod.

Exactly and be prepared as it is a heavy SOB

I will add: The mount on the back rests on the brace and is held on with a nut. You have to left up to get it to come off. If you have AC vents, it is going to get tricky.

I found it is easiest to remove the glovebox liner so I can reach in and move wires out of the way, and to reach in from the side to work versus up from the bottom.

Ok thanks guys.

It does have ac, which is tolted inward and causes the condensate to leak inside. So im trying to get behind the dash to try and raise the whole ac asembly up
