Okay, guys...

Stupid question, but how the hell do i get in behind the dash?

I'm going to try to fix up some of the wiring with my guages and clean it up, but i'm not sure where to start with getting the dashboard off. [addsig]

I found it much easier to take off the dash. Once you remove all the stupid torx bolts, the dash should pull righ off. If you want to pull it completely off, you are going to have to remove the steering wheel as well. They sell pullers for 10 bucks or so at most parts stores.



I replaced the torx with standard hex bolts, they just work better.[addsig]

no issues with the torx bolts, i have a good set of bits for my power drill to deal with that crap.

I'm just making sure that i know WHICH bolts are holding on the dashboard. I would hate to undo a bolt and have it loosen something important that will fall down behind the dashboard never to be seen again...
