Question how do you remove the dash Bezel

I have a new cd player i want to put in my 1990 bronco, but i cannot figure out how to get the bezel around radio and temp controls off. How do you do it, do you need a special tool, is there a hidden clip??

Mike

gently with a small screwdriver you can just pry it off. once you do it you will be surprised how easy it comes off. i was able to just pull mine off without the screwdriver.

In both my 87 and 89 models, the trim piece just popped off with the aid of a flathead. There are about 6-8 clips in various locations around the trim that fit into slots on the dash.

Try gently prying the trim out a bit at a time, looking for those clips. Once you find a clip, the molding should be a little stronger around that area and be able to handle being pryed on.

How long have you had the truck? If there was a previous owner, they could have done some monkey-magic to the factory set-up.

you don't need to remove the bezel

to take out the old radio...just need a tool or 4 skinny nails to push in the 4 holes on the unit...push in and pull the radio out

stupado, pre 92 models you need to remove the bezel to take out the 4 screws to remove the radio. after 92 you need the pin tool you are talking about.
