Wd- 40

Theres only two things ive found to use WD-40 for. One is for drying out moisture from ignition and engine components and the other is fishing. The whale oil base sure attracks them fish.

rwilson on Feb 07, 2006

I am trying to figure out how to take out the radio, and or the center part of the dash area where the heater/a/c controls are, cigarette lighter, etc. The radio is a replacement (not factory), and I cannot figure out how to get it out. I can take out the cigarette ligher and ash tray, but the rest of the console area won't move. Are there screws somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.Read More
