What tools are needed to remove interior?

Tomorrow my friend and I face the daunting challenge of removing my interior and laying down 90sq feet of sound deadening material.

What tools will I need? and could someone be kind enough to tell me how to pull the back panel?

To take the seats out you need a T-55 bit.

Torx bit, as referred to by easterisland and know how to remove the interior plugs.

Hint: Push the centers in gently until you hear them pop. The whole plug slides out. DON'T use a screwdriver or pry any of them out. If you push them in correctly, they will all come out easily.

You'll need sockets and a ratchet to remove the storage bin and seat belts.

Be sure to pull all of your wiring aside when you lay down the material. Don't put your wiring under it.

WARNING!!! If you decide to close off the large gaping vent holes at the rear of the cab, turn off the pass. side air bag from then on.
Most of the road noise comes from these holes, but by covering them, you could blow an eardrum if the air bags go off. Just something to think about. I closed mine....



Good Luck!
