You will priobably find that you have got something lying around at home that will do the job. There is nothing special about these pins really, They are very similar to a couple of watch repairers screwdrivers with the flat or phillips ends ground off them. If your gran (lol) has a number of knitting needles lying around, then these will do the job perfectly. What you are looking for is something no thicker than 1.5 mm and which is quite sturdy. Don't forget to put a bit of masking tape across the holes in the clock unit so that if you slip you won't scratch anything.

On the back of the clock unit, at each end, is a small piece of springsteel that holds the unit in place, all that the 'pins' do is to compress this springsteel so that you can slide the unit out. I managed to release just one end of the unit in my car (the clock end) and then eased it forward and the other end just freed itself so you may find that you can do it with only one pin. When you insert the pins you will then need to angle them in towards each other, at the ends you are holding, this action compresses the springsteel and you can then ease the unit forwards towards you.

Hope this helps.

Just take it nice and easy and don't try to force anything and you will be fine.

Have you managed to find something suitable to use to get the unit out? As I say, anything will do as long as it is close to but no thicker than 1.5mm and is sturdy, i.e not flexible.

Have you checked for the toolkit that came with the car from new as the pins were in there in the central spine under a velcro flap? Or didn't you receive that with the car?.

Not yet as still bidding on a disc but once bought I will look also I will have a good lok for a tool kit I take it it's in the boot? As I got the car second hand it's probably missing lol but will update when done
