Ok, I'm trying to take my dash off, so that it makesit easier to put my new speakers in. That and I have to safely mount my Alpine iPod connector under the dash as well. My question to all of you is this: Is this like the rest of the car, where I have to disassemble the entire car just to remove the one part I want? If not, where are all the screws? I can't find any other than the two or four I've already removed. I've gotten the three (at least I think there were three) out of the speaker holes, but I can't find any others to remove. Who knows where they are? Or if you have your dash removed, take some pics of that and I can probably figure it out on my own.

there are the bolts under dash speakers. there are 4 bolts under the dash to remove. Also you must remove the gauge pod. lower steering shat. be very carefull to pull dash out evenly so as not to crack the ends of the dash. I beleive you have to remove bolt to hood release also.

Freakin' A. Ok, I've got the dash unbolted and ready to come out, but how the hell do you take the gauge cluster off? I've taken off the headlight/dimmer switch removed and unplugged, and the trunk popper/defroster switch removed and unplugged. I've also gotten the two 10mm bolts off underneath, and the two 7mm bolts from the front, but it's still attached somewhere, but where?

I see those 10mm bolts, but I can't get to them because the dash is in the way. Is that not normal?

YAY! I got it, so nevermind. Lol, Aerosmith, I saw those bolts at the beginning, but I couldn't figure out how to get to them. It turns out my dash had fallen down, so I just had to push it up, and I got the bolts. Either way, that really sucked, lol. I don't really want to have to do that again.
