How to remove the ashtray assembly?

[SCOTI]

I need to pull the ashtray assembly from my 89 CC (complete assembly: ashtray & housing/door).

It was too late/dark last night to see how things are attached. I've never had to pull one out so I was hoping for any tips or pointers from others that possibly have so when I get started later today I'm not wasting time.

Well.... I started glancing @ some new threads & wouldn't you know....

You almost have to find it yourself on here. I love the site but help sometimes is hard to come by. Too many " do a search" replies. Sorry but the search isn't the easiest to use. If I know an answer, I answer.... even if it is the umpteenth time it's been asked.

I read your first post and was just about to let you know how it's done then I read your second post.

I'm going to start either video taping myself working on my stuff or take pictures as I work just so I have good answers for others.

Help is always appreciated so thank-you regardless.

I ususally try to answer questions too (if I know the answer ). But, there are some that do ask excessively on subjects that are routinely covered/discussed so I guess that's why some guys don't have as much patience.

I popped the assembly out on my lunch break. Now for the revisions

Building a small, high rpm engine
with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive...
like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol….

Indiana Jones walked away from that encounter though, not so for the highly skilled Morrocan swordsman.

That's the point....

Gotta admit, that was a cool scene. Took me by surprise.
