Default 1982 Centre bezel removal

I am having difficulties removing the centre bezel on my 1982. I removed the 4 screws at the top and the nuts on the radio and it feels like there is something holding it at the bottom. I can't see any more screws at the bottom of the bezel. I am afraid to break it if I pull any harder. Is there screws under the side carpet?

There are 2 screws at the base connected to the centre console bezel. You may have to remove the side console carpet pieces to get to them. Be careful as these are the ones that crack.

If there is an original radio installed, remove the volume and tuner ***** and loosen the nuts underneath.

Here is a write up on taking out the dash pad and it covers the center dash bezel. Even has some great illustrations that will show you what you need to know. The center dash info starts on page 4.

You are very welcome! And remember when you put them back in, the screw in to plastic so be careful.
