Here's a bunch of photos that might help. They're not labeled well but I think you can tell which part is which. The slide show is a bit annoying. If you need regular photos, I'll post them.

Also, check closely and make sure there's nothing in there that's not supposed to be!

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Yip. With that kind of determination I suspect she made it on one of her tries and is probably living happily ever after somewhere in the good ole USA now.LOL Did you let her out?
Here's another. I'd like to get one of these guys to do my under-dash work. It would save on the sore neck.

Take a pair of needle nose pliers, stick the tips in the slots on the nut and turn.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!

Re: removing 67 ford dash switches?
Needle nose pliers work equally as well, without buying a special tool that you'll probably never use again.
