So???? How did it go?

After you finished the job (assuming you did) and looking back on the job, would you advise me to go through the vent or from under the dash?

Another question: IF going through the vent, can you access BOTH set screws or do you need to go below the dash to access the other set screw? (in other words from BOTH positions depending on which set screw)

Ideally it would best to BOTH set screws from the vent but "ideally" isn't always possible.....lol

I'm only half-finished, but I can answer your questions. Yes, you can theoretically access both set screws through the vent opening -- but I couldn't manage it, and Lord knows I tried. I ended up upside down in the footwell again to get the second set screw out. Maybe you'd have better luck. Some folks have supposedly pulled it off. But if I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't remove the vent.
