I want to remove the clock from my 69 GTO. Any tips from anyone that has done it
before. I have the radio, glove box, lighter out of the car. The steering wheel
is laying on the seat and the front plastic trim plate around the radio and lighter is off as well. I believe the clock has three screws. Do these have to come all the way out?
It looks like the clock can be turned a little to unseat it from behind the screws. I read
several places that the dash has to be loosened and moved out from the dash mounting under the windshield. Any ideas, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am
67 years old and not as nimble and flexible as I use to be back in the day.

I have a 70 so it may or may not be the same. I removed mine after I had already removed the dash. (dash pad replacement) However I did note that the attachment points (bolt holes) were actually hooks. If I had loosened the 3 bolts I could have rotated the clock clockwise or counter clockwise to release the 3 hook pattern from the 3 bolt pattern.
If you happen to be taking it out to get the clock movement serviced, I used the link below in January. I think I had the clock back in 2 weeks or so. (including shipping time both ways)

Oldeboy70. Thanks for the post. I believe my clock is the same as your. It does
appear to have those three hooks on the clock housing. I know from you experience
that I probably only have to loosen the three bolts. They look like very small heads on
them as well. I don't want to remove the dash pad so I will try to get a small socket
on the bolts. My problem is getting my hands back there. I believe Performance years also has a service to refurbish the clocks and add the Quartz works. The cost is I believe $120.00 which isn't a bad price. Thanks for info Soups

do you have ac or not. i have swapped the tach in same location by working under the dash. the screws are either 1/4 or 5/16 heads, top screw is a pain and but other were doable. if necessary i could assist.

Storminnorman: Thanks for your reply. I have found out that the clock in a 69 does
not have the "hooks" that the screws go through so the screws have to be backed all
the way out. I talked to Mike from Performance Years who has taken a number
of the clocks out. He is telling me to remove drivers seat to give plenty of room to
lay on floor and get arms up under the dash to remove clock with a 5/16 socket. Suppose to warm up here later this week so will venture out to the garage and give
it a go. Do you live near West Grove PA? Thanks for your offer. Soups
