The only way I can do it is to unsrew the middle while holding the outer bit, which it then screws out easily. Dunno if there is a thread in there but im guessin so as is come straight out. Are yours pretty wornout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lunched so many and should replace them You can buy em from supercrap, and other auto stores, but they only come in little packs of 2, I buy them, and the other smaller scrivets (for the bars and splashtrays) in bulk from a guy who come in to work in a van selling screws n clips n sh*t, you dont need to buy from ford and pay a fortune for them... just look up a local screw and clip guy...

Dont have any video of it but a few pics.Might do another 'how to' but Hanra already has done one. SHould I bother??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
