I managed to spend the entire day after Christmas super sick. I was feeling better on the 27th, but not 100%, but managed to get some more work done on the car.
Nothing like looking at something behind the dash with your camera and seeing the phrase “Do NOT remove 2 screws” stamped in the steel.
This was a challenge. This is a security screw for the ignition lock assembly, and the way they make it is that the screw is torqued from the factory and the head is snapped off. Makes removing it nearly impossible.
The “What have I got myself into” look…
I need to remove the vacuum booster, which is apparently attached to the brake pedal box, so that has to be removed, too.
And it’s out!
