With the seat out of the way, the next thing I had to do is remove the heater vent. The vent is held in place by one large bolt, and a couple of smaller bolts that can’t be seen easily.

The difficult part about this piece is that it is clamped to one of the vent cables. I used a bit of WD-40 and very carefully removed this screw. All parts were placed in a labeled bin.
Actually, the purpose of removing the heater vent was so I could get access to the radio, which is shown on the next page.
