be careful with stuff you may want to keep, otherwise take care around the pcm and under the dash.

It's for heater box removal. Get a sledge, a prybar, and I believe 8mm socket on a 12 inch extention. Loop the heater hose, scrape the rubber mat and glue off.

I did it the hard way and took it out from inside the car. A total PIA and next time I would have just cut it out from the engine bay. However the cover goes inside and I just used some of the screws that was used for the hvac to secure the plate back on.

I removed the dash to install my plate, took 30 min to pull the dash. I had the dash angled on the drive seat for room. I used bolts I bought from the local hardware store. I also used a 1 in double sided weatherstrip to seal it in place. Worked great. Just be careful of the center bracket on the dash, very easy to bend it out of wack.
