getting at ignition switch

Postby empty » Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:29 am

Hi all,
how do you remove the lower panel under steering wheel?
I've had the steering wheel off, removed the 2 hex screws and also the 2 smaller ones holding the wiper control but it still won't move??
I have the hifi control which seems to have a fixing which I can't see.
I could get a small spanner behind to remove the nut you can see but am worried I won't get it back on.
Seem to have a loose /broken wire behind there.
Any help much appreciated.
regards
Mark

There are another at least another two screws, one each side roughly in line with the rear-most hex fitting. Can't remember if there are another two at the front. When I refitted mine I left off all the other fittings apart from the two large ones as the others were a pain to get to on a regular basis.

You don't need to undo the screws for the wiper stalk, it lifts out with the cover. Also the stereo control can stay attached.

Thanks Stephen.
Are these hex also??
I tried fishing deep in those holes but could'nt find a grip so presumed there was nothing there but I'll try again.
