nope the fascia is only screwed on the LHS and has a ball clip on the right

You just have to pull it out.. I can be tight but it will come.. I sort of get in behind it near the ciggie lighter then give it one good sharp pull.. Then undo the cig lighter plug and pop out the light-blub carrier and you are home


Dont forget to undo the screw(s) under the gear selector fascia.. So you obviously need to remove the T-Bar handle and that large nut to slide the fascia over the stick

 

Ah cheers matey, I just didn't want to force it. Anywho, I'll give it a go. :s5

 

Whats going to be fun is removing the anti tamper screws on the factory head unit.

I got annoyed and just drilled em out.

Good thing was that the brackets off the factory H/U fit on my new H/U fine and it slides in real nice and tight, at the perfect angle too.

If you have a problem with the 12v constant battery wire like I did... well, read my thread "EL Stereo install gone wrong". The colours on that particular wire I was told on many occasions to be "dark green with yellow stripe" - mine was black with a pink stripe.

Anyhoo, good luck.

How did you go Jack? I might need to remove the one in my ED soon so I hope that's not too hard

Sorry to take this off topic Jack, but I have some questions for tibbo about his interior painting - doesn't the window-winders lose paint being an item that gets handled so frequently? Can I ask what paints/preparation etc you used? You can PM if you like.

Cheers.

 

The EA-ED one is very easy, you can't go wrong. Just remember that you don't have to bother taking apart the console by removing the lid etc as I did - just remove the screws at the bottom inside the compartment, under that carpet stuff. :s5
