Default HELP NEEDED - '01 V70 Center Vent

I need to install a new front center vent on an '01 V70. Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to remove the old one and install a new one? Thanks.

Wow! That interior looks nice. I didn't know how nice those things looked. Anyway, look in the vents for a screw. If you don't see any there, you will likely just need to pry around the endges of the vent housing to get clips loose. Some places sell what they call a BONE TOOL. It is designed to avoid damage to nices dash pieces like yours.

No toolbox should be w/o one; these things are essential if you want to do interior work!!

I agree, from what I have read. Yesterday I used a plastic putty knife to get into my dash and it worked great. I plan to order the bone tool next time i order from ipd.
