Instrument Cluster Lights

I have 1 or 2 lights out in the cluster, looking in my Chilton book it appears I need to pull the radio and the finish panel around the cluster, the radio seems to be my problem, I've heard you can buy a tool or make one out of a coat hanger by bending a "U" in the hanger....I assume the "U" acts as a handle because I see 4 small holes around the radio, 2 on either side of the top & the bottom that a "U" couldn't fit into, my question is how to perform the task and which holes to go for, top or bottom?

Thanks guys, Dummy Walt

You need to stick the "U" shaped wires in both top and bottom and they will release the radio. Once you stick them in you should be able to pull the radio right out.

Thanks Yukon, I assume if a guy wasn't dumb like me, he would replace all the lights, Right?

Just to let you all know the flood waters (SW Washington) are going down and the suns out, the 4 foot creek at the bottom of my place was 100 feet out of it's bank!!!!

Lee's Camp in the coast range got 10 inches, where I'm at it was just all the tributaries feeding down into my little creek and the lay of the land that caused my little flood, 100 ft out out the stream bed in 10 arces don't amount to much in the bottom land.
