I'm getting my wood trim refinished to piano black, but have no idea how to take the trim out!

Any help appreciated!

Check out Boston Driver's registry, IIRC he has something there from when he did his CF trim.

Default you'll be amazed how easy it is..I swapped mine and literally it took BD about 5 min's<more>

What you really need is one of those plastic pry bar sets....BD knows where to get them because that's where I got mine.

Help BD!!!!!

Default get a small flat head screwdriver. just pop it off.

Or, buy my complete set of trim and do the piano black project on the spare set.

Default it IS too good to be true...maybe 10 minutes? However...

...I have the right tools AND I've done that at least 4 times before. All that helped. The 1st time I removed the interior trim, probably took an hour because I did not know what I was doing, and I did not have the right tools.
