[s-cars] radio, air vent removal?

[Wayne Dohnal]

Steve,

I pulled my radio once and it was pretty simple.  In fact it was such a
nonevent that I don't remember much about it.  I just did whatever it says
in the Bentley.  Now the air vent might be another story.  I tried to pull
the driver side vent using home-made hook tools per the Bentley.  There was
no way that vent was going to budge.  It feels like it's welded to the
dashboard, and I eventually abandoned the effort.  I hope the center vent is
easier for you.
