Stripped aways the whole ccentre console only to be foiled by the 4 bloody screws that are holding the stock headunit in place ! Their impossible to come off and I dont have any other tools besides a couple of screwdrivers ! Any help guys ?

Sounds like your going in the wrong way

I destroyed my head unit trying to get them off. The screws get rounded so easilly. I ended up sawing them out I think... Seriously... Rooted my stock deck.

hahha, they are the gayness

i warped the metal frame thing that its attached to when i was trying to take them off...

do u reckon dripping oil around the screw will help? and yeah, i ended up drillng through 3 out of the 4 screws.

the 4th one was rounded off 1/2 way out, so i ripped it out with pliars.

Given up trying to remove it my self gonna pass my whole headunit to JB HiFi to get installed. Didnt want to do it but no other choice. Just dont wanna excarberate the situation further by rounding out the screws.

lol, had to grind mine off!

:bowrofl: All 4 of mine came out easy :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin: :

get a power drill and drill through the screws. thats what JB is gonna do anyways.

then just pop into bunnings to find a set that matches.

Mine came off real easy. I had no problems.

Yea wish i was just as lucky to have it off after i stripped the whole bloody centre console away. Getting the pics of my 3rd gen Magna so i can change my avatar its a TK ! hee hee power windows and mirrors whoo hoo !! V6 kicks so much ass ! Just wish my crappy headunit will come off so I can install my new Kenwood headunit !!!

got mine out by simply cutting the slots a little deeper in the screw heads with a hacksaw blade this way you get more purchase and can use a bigger screwdriver.hope this helps

i cut sick on mine with the air hacksaw from memory ... come out easy peasy then :)


just cut a slot in them so you can get them out with a big blade screwdriver then just use thenew screws that come with the new headunit
