Default 2 silly questions

1. How do I separate the fuse box screw from the fuse box cover?
I'm looking to install my chrome cover and need to remove the screw cap 1st. I pulled on it and tried to squeeze the inside and pull it out and nothing!!!!
2. Easiest way to remove the inside door handle to replace with painted ones without breaking the clips..

Thanks

Here is my silly question to you.... are people that insecure that they can not ask a question here without categorize it as a dumb or silly question?

1)On a serious note. there is a lock ring on the bottom of the screw head under the lid

2)Go to Vetteessentials.com and view C5 door panel removal.

Just take your time on the inside door handle bezels and you'll get them off just fine.

Squeeze the lock tab on the bottom of the fuse box cover and pull harder...

Peace
