Is there some trick to removing the dash switches (headlights, lighter, wiper) on a 1966 pontiac catalina? I know with my 64 bonneville you just twist the outside nut and they pop right off. But I have tried with my catalina, and it dosen't seem to work.
Thanks, - Nelson |

The headlight switch: You have to turn the lights on, while the switch is pulled out, stick one hand behind the dash onto the top of the switch and you will feel a small button, depress the button and pull on the switch and it will pop out. Use a flathead screwdriver on the smaller inner bezel and spin it off.
Wiper/Lighther/Stereo etc. : There is a small Allen head screw that holds them tight to the stud. Loosen them with an allen key and use a flathead screwdriver to remove the small inner bezel just like with the wiper. Foolproof and Sucka free since 1979. |

What Joe Said....
try putting a small piece of masking tape over the blade end of the swrewdriver to help prevent marring the soft surface....it will give the driver a little better grip as well. |

Never done that. Not totally sure. I would think the same way. It has those three notches in the bezel. Im pretty sure you want to lay some masking tape over it and do the same with a screwdriver as the other bezels. Nelson. From one '66 owner to another, I would highly recommend you order a '66 Shop manual from PY. I use mine religously. Best money you can spend on one of these cars for sure.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
