removing the dash.. how

[pistol pete]

the actuall carcus of the dash i want to remove to get rid of eveything behind it before refitting (lightweigh)

how do you remove the main dash itself.. hidden bolts?

cheers

Obviously remove steering wheel, clocks, glovebox and all trim from the dash, then it really is a case of feeling your way. There's 10mm nuts all over the place holding it on.

Heater vent ducting to disconnect also.

I've removed 2 now. Once all nuts removed, the dash is on push fit clips along the back top edge.

Hope that helps.

Really easy dash to remove should take less than an hour. Steering wheel off,
steering cowl off,
under steering dash panel off (one with fog switches mounted in)
Ashtray and tray underneath out
Dash centre facia and vents off
stereo out
facia over steering wheel off
Black trim over top of speedo unit out
speedo unit out
into passenger seat, glovebox out
small plastic triangle vent on top of dash prize out

From memory thats all panels, i may have removed a pillar covers

Screws from memory are,
one in little triangle vent
one below passenger side dash near where kick panel is (similar to where bonnet pull is on opposite side)
Thinks it's 4 in centre of dash, it's the screws next to the ones holding stereo in
I think it's 2 screws and one nut behind speedo unit, one is in far right corner
then the one at bottom of dash by bonnet pull

I can't remember uf there's a couple of screws holding the bottom of dash to the centre tunnel bit but you should see them of there is while doing ashtray
