What tools do I need to pull this piece from the dash? Im goin to a pick n pull and need some advise on what I need and how should i pull it

Here is a pic...

 

Are you talking about the black plastic suround? If so all you need is a small flat blade screw driver to pry the grey strips out from underneith them to get to the phips head screws, and to pull the light switch **** off the rod.

 

Cool I was just thinking of this during my drive to work today.

 

Mine are torx (T-15 I believe) not philips. I would take both if I were you. You never know with Ford.
