Thread: 04+ Complete Dash Removal????? HELP Please!!!

I will post some pics from my dual climate conversion in the next day or so when im home, theres some hidden bolts up around there the brake pedal mounts which is a challenge at first, but with the pictures it should not be hard at all.

1disconnect your battery. 2 next you must remove the brake master cylinder then remove the brake booster (to remove booster first unhook the rod that is hooked to the brake peddle under the dash then turn the booster counter clock wise I use a pry bar between the studs that the master mounts on) there is 6 nuts behind it that hold the dash in (15 mm socket fits these) 3 then disconnect your a/c lines and heater hoses in the area that the a/c lines disconnect there is 2 small nuts(10 mm socket) remove them. 4 next disconnect wiring by the left strut tower this harness comes from fire wall left side you will also need to remove the cowling by the windshield remove the windshield wiper motor/arms disconnect the wires from the wiper motor. 5 next pull fuse panel off right side by battery there is a large harness that that comes from the right lower fire wall along the frame to the fuse panel disconnect the plugs from back of the fuse panel that goes to this harness also a couple of other small connectors from this harness are in this area 6 next jack up and support the right side of the car from under the car find this large harness that goes to the fuse box it is above the rack & pinion there is 2 small nuts that hold this harness/seal to the fire wall remove these (10 mm socket) lower the car back to the ground 7 inside the car remove the steering column console and shift lever from the car then remove the cowling where the dash meets the windshield ( this just prys up ) you will also have to remove the cover that is on windshield post 8 at the left side of the dash close to windshield/post there is 2 bolts that go in from the top you can see them through the windshield remove them there are these same bolts on the right side of the dash 9 with the doors open at the end of dash where it meets the door there is a removable panel remove it there is 2 bolts where the dash meets the door post behind that panel (13 mm socket) be sure to remove these same bolts on the right and left side of dash 10 remove the kick panels at the floor below the dash right and left side of car there is 1 bolt here (13 mm socket some years may not have this bolt) 11 unhook hood release cable from the lever 12 the dash is completely unbolted from the car it will come out hard Ive had to pry them out the dash is also heavy so you may want some help removing it when you start to put the dash back it it is hard to line up and get it to go in to place one tip i have is in the middle of the dash at the floor there is a heater duct that goes to the rear of the car make sure to get this lined up when reassembling car it is almost impossible to hook this up with dash fully in place good luck
