ok im finally doing it

im getting rid of the cracked and warped dash

well its 20 years old (nuff said)

so ive got all the rest of the stuff out (center, glovebox, panels etc)

and the dailbox frame



but i just have no clue ,well no manual says how to remove the dash



i know of the 3 screws at the top, one 8mm on each side and 8x 8mm on the front



but im guessing theres something i should do in the centre (the a/c blower)



what?

I did the same thing. Take out every screw you can see, then wiggle the dash to see where its still held. There are some sneaky buggers. There are also screws holding the ac/blower down in really tight spots.
