I know I loosend all the bolts, I took the glove box off, the center console out, the panel under the steering wheel out, and the nuts by the windshield out. What am I missing???

Crono1321 06-02-2002, 02:59 PM sorry can't find anything. :confused: nismo91 06-02-2002, 05:38 PM I think you have to disconnect the dash from the engine compartment first, before you can slide the whole thing out. At least that's what I was told when I tried to take off my dash before. But I have yet to try it out.

At least that's what I was told when I tried to take off my dash before. But I have yet to try it out. Not even close. I changed mine a few months back, and it didnt require disconnecting anything from the engine compartment. Keep checking for screws, just when you think you took them all out there are more, trust me, I went through the same thing. Try to tug on the dash a little, and see where it might be stuck, and look for screws there. Good luck. Sentragtr20 06-02-2002, 08:30 PM Thanx. But where could the rest of the screws be? FSM? I heard it alot but what is it? MauiBlueGride 06-02-2002, 08:47 PM Yep there are lots of bolts up underneath, also you probably need to remove the two trim pieces running from the roof towards the dash, and also some HVAC control stuff gets in the way (on a b14 anyways) Finally, you have the steering wheel off right? if not, fugggidabout it. Chris nismo91 06-03-2002, 12:23 PM My fault! I thought you were talking about the gauge cluster. :) For the dash itself it's just bunch of bolts everywhere. I'll have to look at me to give you an advice which bolts you are missing. My bad! se-r sam 06-03-2002, 01:09 PM FSM =Factory Service Manual. andris 06-05-2002, 01:14 AM Originally posted by Sentragtr20 I was tryin to take the dashboard ,but no matter how hard I tried it wouldnt come out.
