Honker help?
Trying to insyall Honker and having problems with the dreaded shroud. I have removed 6 pushpins and it is still stuck it looks like there is a silver speed nut holding it down at the bottom. Any ones have any ideas what I have to do.
I am quickly losing it.

I think the "pin" on the passenger side you may be talking about is actually the outside air temperature probe.
Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions. It's just a real PITA to get the shroud out. I think you'll have an easier time getting it back in (at least I did). You sorta know a little better what you're trying to do.
Like I said, I hope you're all done with the whole install by now. Let us know how it went.

My Callaway Honker showed up this afternoon in the mail. I'm going to install it! If you don't hear from me then I just want you all to know that you are the best forum buddies a guy could ask for.

callaway install
I wore a pair of tight fitting Mechanix gloves for the shroud extracting part. It sure can save your hands when your pushing and bending it. Also nobody factored in the booze bill for all the time it takes to get this thing in and out.

Glad that the job is done and over with. It took me most of the evening to do the install and the majority of the time was spent screwing with the shroud. My mechanics gloves were a lifesaver on the 'ol hands.
