    hey guys this is long overdue been busy with stuff and finally have time to make a thread on this.

    First off disconnect your battery

    then you go inside and start removing the center console and radio

    if you need help in this part i can get pics on that too

    after that just pop off the cables same way you did before

    Next pull the carpet back so you got room to work with and unplug the box and there are three bolts holding it down one on the drivers side and two on passenger

    you also gotta shift the plugs and the vents going to the rear so you can maneuver the plate out

    if you want you can cut a patch out off the plate or attempt to move it aside your choice

    I couldn't get the pics of where the bolts are but if you get a descent sized 10mm wrench you could loosen the nuts and back them by hand barely and torque on them
    at this part you should probably have a friend help you here pushing the cables through find the way you do best and not crack the hvac case and have a huge hole lol (my mistake)

    after you get it out get yourself a beer the hard part is over and the easy part begins

    then just do everything in reverse order and done!
