can anyone please help?

I have fitted my sub and amp in the boot (usa peeps may call this a trunk!)
I am currently trying to shift the cd changer (proper honda one) out of the way for a bit of space,
BUT
i have took the funny bolts out from each side but there is like a plastic screw cover thingy at the back- the one nearest to the wheel under the arch type thing but i cant get it out!
I have tried-
Taking the plastic cover off- NOT HAPPENIN
Putting a big screwdriver under there and pulling-NOT HAPPENIN

so what am i doing wrong????

please help me i am a woman and need a little space for shoppin round my bass area!!!!

THANKS FOR LOOKIN

 

I'll take a look at mine at lunch time today and try to see what you're talking about.

With most fasteners, if it's not a bolt or a screw, you pry it out. I'll see if I can figure out what the "plastic screw cover thingy" at the back is.

If you are referring to the mounting point of the "cage", it is a stud welded to the cage. There is a nut that needs to be removed from underneath the car.

Maybe this will help: (Click on "view installation instructions")

Yep, that's it. You can access two of the bolt from inside the boot but the third one is a "headless" bolt and you have to undo the nut from underneath the car. This looks like it almost has to be a two person job.

What a PITA. This looks like it's totally designed to frustrate us DIY-ers.

 

thanks-

looks like i will have to fiddle underneath the car???

god knows how i will do that!!

I cant believe how complicated this is.

how will i remove it from underneath??????????????

 

The bolt is permanently attached to the cage. You may want to put one of the bolts you took out back in hand tight. This will keep the cage from turning while you undo the nut from underneath. After removing the nut, take out the bolt that you had put back in, and the cd changer and cage will lift right out.

If you plan to mount it in a different location, you'll want to patch the hole in the trunk with something to keep the water out. You'll also have to use different hardware for the other two mounts as they currently thread into captured nuts that can't be relocated.

 

thanks i will get on the floor and try and find this little tyrant

i will put one of the oldbolts back in as its spinning round now, every time i go round a corner its doing waltzer styley on me!!

so heres to the weekend and getting this thing off!!

thanks
