Re: 63 dash pad removal

Sander,these are simple just push a flat bladed screw driver between the two metal edges and give it a good twist until the edges seperate from each other. As a general statement you will not be able to use these retainers as they have a tendency to break in half. If their is a tool out there that makes this easier I am not aware of it. I will be watching to see how other folks do it. Good luck with your car.

Agree with the slot screwdriver method. The clips are usually good for at least one reuse.
