Hello all,
I'm going to get my engine lid hinge mount repaired next week. My welder guy would like me to remove the backpad from the car so he doesn't accidently set it on fire while welding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I can go for that too! Anyway, I don't believe its ever been out. Can someone describe how to remove it without damaging it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Any info would be appreciated. I did not seem to find this information when I searched the site, so maybe describing the process is something new...? The shop manual was not real descriptive about the process. Thanks! |

A few more details:
You also need to remove the engine lid release knob, and the trim right behind it. The trim ring has 2 pin holes in it, into which you can insert some small tool, so you can rotate it to remove it. You may also need to remove the cover over the handbrake cables. 2 small phillips head screws hold the plate on. The backpad has clips that fit under a slot at the top of the firewall, You need to remove the backpad by moving the bottom edge inward and downward. Don't pull from the top. Joe |
