WhtStang00 · October 22nd, 2009, 08:11 PM

im having a problem with the install with unscrewing these screws with the T15 torx bit. one of the screws stripped. so is there any way that i can get it out or am i just basically SOL?

help? anyone?

You stripped the head on a torq screw or the bit itself? I've stripped bits, but never a screw. If all else fails vise grips, if you can get enough of a grip on it. Shouldn't be that tight.

ok i got all the screws out and everything, but im to the point where i need to wire the gauges. in the instructions that came from stack racing, it says to wire the wires to the positive and negative wires. however im having a problem
1. getting the wires out of the harness
2. how do i wire them if they have the connectors on them?!

Actually, does anyone have a good write up that they could post? that would probably help too

Did you check this out?

cut them with wire cutters and splice them in. thats how i did it. and also i ran into a problem using the ground wire. it wasnt a good enough ground on my car so i used a self tapping screw on the frame behind all the wiring and shit

but when i cut it and splice it, how do i put the little metal thing back onto the wires?
