Also, stick to butter knives and either side of the radio and possibly at the top and bottom. Just look up how to remove any standard aftermarket head unit.

Also depending on what you want you may want to look into getting m3 offset bushings.

For the radio - pull the knobs off first. You might find some nuts under them. Remove them to see if you can pull off the face plate to get a better look at how it's secured to the opening.

Those don't look offset.

Rubber M3 offset cabs are like $50.

This ^^.

I am currently redoing my whole suspension and come to the realization it is not worth taking a chance on ebay parts since its a pain in the ass to get to those components. Any of the above mentioned sites have a good reputation around here at a competitive price.

anyways I'm still probably going to get them cos I know Super Pro are a good brand and they are made in aus.

Nice thing about the M3 offsets is you don't have to worry about them squeaking like poly. Make sure you lube them up and set screw the the bushing in the lollipop.

*edit* Just noticed these have a metal ring, so they probably need to be pressed into the lollipops, which means you can ignore the set screw comment.

The squeaking can get pretty ridiculous at times. I've got maybe 2,000 miles on my suspension and the urethane started squeaking after the first rain. The radio masks it for sure.

Nothing helps when your coworkers ask you "didn't you just replace your suspension? Why is it so noisy? Sounds old."
