i need to get the dash off for a group of reasons...my gauges, my speakers, my vents....but i am not sure how to do. i heard it was just the tiny bolt scews that you see and nothing else...but i wanted to make sure before i start fiddling around. how many screws are there exactly...and where might i locate them. thank yous in advance.

 

I have removed the entire dash assembly. All the screws are visible as it comes apart. Remove dash pad first and work your way down from there.

 

Much easier if you remove the center console first.

1. Remove both hush panels under dash.
2. Remove plastic piece from under steering column.
3. Drop or remove steering column.
4. Remove the dash pad.
5. Remove both speaker brackets and c.enter bracket.
6. Remove 2 13mm nuts from each top corner of dash.
7. Remove 2 10mm bolts from each bottom corner of dash.
8. I believe it is (8) 9/32" bolts retaining the heating ducts to the dash, (2) top center, (2) on each side of dash for side vents, (2) behind ac/heater controls. You do not have to remove the window defroster ducts.
9. Carefully pull dash away, watching for anything still attached.

If you wish to completely take out the dash, carefully unplug and label all harnesses, take out cluster, mark and remove all clips retaining harness to dash.
