accessing s14 rear strut towers

[offtheline]

To get to the tower I have to take off a panel that covers the speakers and whatnot. I was wondering how to remove this panel in the easiest way possible. I dont want to break it and I cannot tell what how it is fastened down.

EDIT: Oh, and another N00b question... how do the brake line clips come undone? I cant make them budge. Sorry, its hard doing this by myself without having done it before.

Pull up on it from the center, where the seat normally is. Its held in with 5 or so clips that just pop out. A cpl may break and or might come off get lost but they are cheap, and its inevitable... Give it a good solid pull and itll come right up...

And what do you mean brake line clips? The whole white clip, or the line in the clip?

I spent a good 6 months trying to figure out how to get this panel off, then a guy at an audio shop just went in there and popped it off for me. I felt stupid.

It's just held down by clips. Just pull it up, you'll be fine.

Oh I meant the clips that hold the brake line to the strut. sorry that was a dumb question. I got them off with a screwdriver.

I was thinking that I just needed to pull on the panel, but I wanted to make sure before I put a lot of force into it and broke something off. Thanks.

just pull the rear speaker cover thing off. it is easy as hell. on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being the easiest i would rate this a -5. you wont break anything.

-5? yay!
