Pull the engine lid release knob out; grab the shaft with some needle nose pliers while turning the knob counterclockwise. You have to make the shaft stationary in order to turn the knob.
If you are removing the backkpad; use the tips of the needle nose pliers to turn the plastic plate where the shaft enters. |

It's hard to see in the pic, but I suggest using a 911 "T" handle for the engine lid release. It's eaiser to pull than the stock round one. Really comes in handy if you have a cage like my car.....Performance Products part # 902429---$13.95
