    Default How to remove Passengers Side Dash Panel

    I searched but couldn't find anything...but I swear I remember reading something about there being just 2 speed nuts to remove it...I was reaching back up there in the SVO and I couldn't find anything that seemed right...also felt like there was something mounted to the back of it...

    Anyone with a dash out have any pics of the backside?

    This part if I wasn't clear...


    Thanks,
    Mike

    I took my glovebox out and you have to fiddle up there with a socket(I think deepwell) and get them off. I shredded my hands, as there is very little room. There are 2 plastic post, one toward each end with speednuts on them.

    Its two speed nuts and they were very hard to get off.

    Things get a little crowded but if you take out the glove box, you can get in there with a little effort. I use an 11/16 socket I think to get at it. Here's a pic with the speed nuts circled in red...

    there is a metal piece that you bend in order to get at the one closest to the drivers sire and the other one you can get at. I recommend taking the glove box off. You will shred your hands less.

    Once you get clear access to the speednuts, use a 9/16" deepwell socket or ratchet wrench.

    I was wondering this very thing a couple of days ago.

    Just pull the glove box as stated above. The nuts are easy to get to.

    Shredding your hands and wrists is inevitable.
