When replacing the stock head unit with an aftermarket head unit, do you reuse the mounting brackets from the stock head unit? or do you use the cage that comes with the aftermarket head unit?

I tried taking the mounting brackets off the stock head unit, but the 4 screws holding them down will NOT come loose

 

reuse.... get a snap-on screw driver they'll come loose then

 

Thanks... I finally got them off. What a pain!

 

Did that today myself-they were tough!

 

Anybody know where I can get these brackets? I lost mine!

 

I use an inexpensive ratchet-handle driver (90-degree, not a "screwdriver" handle) on stubborn screws.

 

here. majestic has them .. for 2.50 a piece... take the price to local dealer and find one that will match.

I do it with local dealer and they somtimes charge a bit more.. but still worth it.
most likely special order. takes a couple of days

Thanks man.

btw, WOW! did you see the price of the head unit?
List price- 1008.80
Our price- 706.16

 

what a pain indeed! I stripped all but one of the screws before I finally got them off.
