Need Help

98stangv6 · February 23rd, 2008, 05:21 PM

i have an auto 98 v6, and when i accelerate i get this screeching noice from the engine and idk what it is and it only does it when i accelerate.....
Also i want to paint this center plastic piece. how do i take it off and is it hard to take off?

and do i need to take off my door panels to paint the plastic piece that surrounds the door handle and is it easy to take off? Thanks.

for the plastic pieces just pull them off, if u need get a flat head screw driver behind it for a little more leverage.

center piece is two screws and pull, door pieces just pop them out, as for the squealing probably a belt

98stangv6 · February 23rd, 2008, 06:21 PM

ya i was thinking of the belt but i wasnt too sure, thanks for everyones help

ok well i got my pieces painted they were pretty easy to take out except the center piece. me and my buddy think that my stereo has safety clips.. how can i take them out?

If I'm not mistaken, it takes a) a special tool from ford b) a bent up hanger

98stangv6 · February 27th, 2008, 10:34 PM

no its not a stock stereo though. its a jvc.

GreenFaleen · February 27th, 2008, 10:35 PM

pop up the piece around the shifter, take out the two screw right under the ledge below the headunit, pull out some and reach behind to push in te clips and pull that side out.

98stangv6 · February 27th, 2008, 10:37 PM

reach under the stereo and push the clips? i tried and i couldnt get it to pop out. or do you mean to do it from the sides?

GreenFaleen · February 27th, 2008, 10:46 PM

sides once the screws are out its will have move give, pop out the side clips on the trim and then pop out the trim around the HU

98stangv6 · February 27th, 2008, 10:53 PM

alright so i dont need to take my car to an audio place to take out those safety clips right?

GreenFaleen · February 27th, 2008, 11:25 PM

no I doubt you have safety clips just pop off the faceplate trim

98stangv6 · February 27th, 2008, 11:28 PM

GreenFaleen · February 27th, 2008, 11:38 PM

shadow5403 · February 28th, 2008, 08:11 AM

also the vents in that panel come out too, which could be what you are getting hung up on.

98stangv6 · February 28th, 2008, 08:40 AM
