Dash removal

[kd7kmp]

Okay, I've got the dash loose and ready to be pulled back. The problem I'm having is that the driver's side seems to be catching on something. All seven bolts holding the dash in have been removed. There are no wiring harnesses keeping holding it back. The passenger side comes off very easily. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks.

I just took mine off last weekend. I had the same problem. I found it was catching on the alum. looking piece that the steering colem bolted to. i had to pry with a screw driver. I pried up between the alum. piece on the left side. It was stuck on the stud for the steering colem. Im not saying to pry and brake stuff but if you pry up about a 1/4 inch it sould slide out. make sure you unhooked the speedometer cable.

Thanks for the help. I did see that on my car but was unsure if that was the problem. I will try it tomorrow. Later.

Well, I got the dash lifted up over the aluminum mount for the steering wheel but the dash is still being held back by something. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

This is probably a useless suggestion, but have you disconnected the speedo cable?

Just a thought. shrug

Good luck!

No suggestion is useless. And, yes, i did disconnect the speedo cable. I was finally able to get the dash off. Just needed a good tug. Hope nothing broke eek! eek! eek! .
