I bought the tools. I spent 4 hours one night trying to move pins over with a needle and thimble. Very discouraging.

These tools have racked-up more frequent flyer miles in the past 12 months...than I ever will.

I usually just ship them to folks..and then they get forwarded...and forwarded...and forwarded to other folks that need them. The tools actually made a quick visit to me back in Boston during the holidays (it was emotional)...and then I sent them back out on the road. Ahhh...the life of a pin extraction tool. Ha!

Back to work for me.

Meh, I'm doing a Symphony II with OEM Sat radio install into my '01... lots of rewiring.

Aw man, sorry to hear...keep chugging away, your effort will be well worth it.

We've all been there. I understand your frustration, but as you do a few more of these things you'll know it's par for the course.

When I first started, I must have craved busted knuckles, cut fingers, uncleanable but sporty "black fingernail trim," sheared bolts, broken plastic tabs, not quite as straight as it used to bes, blown circuits, breaker bar rides, battery jolts (this is a funny one to see, if it's someone else), undercar grime showers, and the oh f*&('s that go with that.

Most of us have enought common sense enough to keep from opening the radiar cap hot and getting our sleeves caught in the fan belt, but there are many hidden gotcha's along the way.

Having had so much fun, it makes me laugh visualizing about all the frustrated folks trying to superglue plastic tabs back onto trim pieces or f*&(ing with the airbox tab for 3hrs before leaving it open because you can't quite reach it and you've convinced yourself that you'll close it tomorrow or that this is a major design error.

PS, RadioShack should have something close enough and the glasses thing must have been funny as hell.

Glad you got a good laugh out of it. I know I sure did. . .
