How do you get those black screws off the bracket for the Bose? I've been using my trusty craftsman screwdriver that I've been using for who knows how long. My fingers are hurtin lol.

 

Try twisting very quickly while pressing in hard. I finally got it with my Craftsman screwdriver. Just bump it. Hopefully you didn't strip it already, because my idea won't work very well if you have. Good luck!!

 

early morning bump.. i've been toiling over this for 6 hours??!???

 

These were in my Favourites. They may or may not help

I don't know if you plan on keeping the unit to sell or put it back in to sell the car later but you could just bring out a drill. I spent about 5 mins and gave up and let my orange b&d do the work. If done correctly you will only loose the screws.

 

Disconnect wiring
Lie headunit flat on the ground
Hold really sturdy with one hand
Turn screwdriver with the other

 

i plan to keep it. I was going to do the led mod, [ONE bulb went out wtf] so yes, I officially gave up and I'm going to put my dash back in. A lot of my friends were asking if my car got broken into while goin to class. haha Thanks for everyone's replies though.

 

Yea, you would think that would do it. and if it did, I'd have a nice write-up and pictures of the led mod. But nope.

 

If the screw is striped u can use a metal file to file a deep line in the screw then use a screw driver to unscrew repeat till you have it off

 

it's not the screws are stripped. They are perfect. There is just too much torque on them. I've turned so hard that the lines aren't straight anymore. Usually a screw would have the line going up an down and left and right. Now it's just a wavy X. Nissan made those bishes tighter than the enginebay space in my calispec
