i think that write up tells you how to remove the whole dash. i dont remember but i used it like 3 years ago.

edit: back then it was free i guess now u have to pay to view instructions.

 

okay i see that you have the shifter area off -now make sure that pop out piece is open which it is in that pic -it comes right out its only held on by clips -now you can see the 2 bolts on the bottom -next take off the top vent part-that also is just held on by clips-then you can see those 2 bolts -now the whole thing will come off -the black piece which you want the framwe and the climate control -from there just unscrew the front -its so easy -i hope that helps a lil

 

top vents, not in photo right, you talking about where the a/c blows out air in those vents

 

yup take a flathead and put it inbetween the vents and the climate control and lift -its comes right out and then clips out on the top also -no screws at all on that part -then you can access the 2 screws that need 2 come out on top 2 more on the bottom and that whole assembly comes out

 

vents and climate control look like all one piece ? sure for a 97 ?

 

okay this is all i got lol

the part that is all green is one piece-that is what you are taking off first -to take that off pry where i have the red circle -when you pry there the whole green highlighted piece will come off -where the blue circles are thats where the 4 bolts are that you need to take off to take the whole frame off-those bolts you can only get to after you take the vent piece off and that lil pocket piece on the bottom -i hope that clarifies everything

 

Just like 97maxxx said, pry with a flat head along those areas in the pic above ^^^. Do it carefully, you will start to hear a "cracking" lack of a better word. Don't worry its just the spring clips that are disengaging. If you haven't taken the dash apart, it will be very tough to pry apart but it will come off. I've taken mine too many times so its a lot easier for me to take everything apart. Once you have those off, it will reveal two screws that hold the top part of the entire center piece. The other two screws will be down below.

 

theres a screw on the left side of the ash tray that you can get to one the shifter trim comes off, then pull the ash tray out (there are two clips on the right side of it), mine took a fair amount of force to pull out

 

dude that photo is exactly right, i kept looking and then went down a level between clock and temp thing and there it was, got it all out did the fix i need and im good !! man i love the org !! mission accomplished !!

thanks
