OK, so now I have the passenger seat out and the entire backpad is ready to come out.
How does the pull handle that opens the engine lid come off? Trying to be careful not to break anything... |

the outer flared knob (what you pull on) simply screws onto the shaft; you'll want to unscrew this. next, you'll want to get a pair of fine-point (needle-nose) pliers to unscrew the other piece, kind of a grommet of sorts that fits into the hole in the back pad and screws into the firewall somewhere. the back pad won't come off unless you unscrew this piece also. you'll see what i mean when you get that first knob off, there are two holes in that piece for the tips of the pliers. careful with the plastic, tho.
i think this is right. if not, i'm a newbie and don't know anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Double-a is right!

Ok, I'll give that a whirl. I did get the "pull knob" off, but need to get this "bushing" piece out.
My teener has a litle more rust than expected.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

A little too late for me! Twice in the last month I have released the wire at the latch and pulled the whole cable out of the housing. I won't do it that way next time!
