How to remove the heater controls from an early 911?
Hi all. I'm in the process of changing the vinyl on my dash face, and I need to remove the heater controls to do it. I can't seem to figure out what the next step is after I remove the 8mm nut holding it to the chassis. Do the heater lines easily disconnect, or is this one of those projects that looks easier than it actually is?

I cant remember the details but its more difficult than it looks. There is some hidden mount points or something that make it tricky. Getting back in place is even worse. I think I remember its a lot easier with the radio out if you have not already removed.....for weight savings :-)

A most annoying job. If you're patient, the faceplate can be pulled out enough to work the vinyl around and under it. Just have to remove the one bolt for that.

What's required to change the vent control lights. How many are there? Need to pull out the Bentley.
