Can someone direct me to where i can find a thread on how to remove the Dash of my car? since i painted my dash black... we are gonna take it out and send it off to a friend of mine who is gonna redo my dash....... so if there is a write up somewhere please give it to me!!

I searched on the forums but found absolutely nothing.. unless i missed it... i spent like 2 hours searching under different key words..

anyone?

 

Did you look at the FSM? BT12-BT14 clearly describe how.

Or the Haynes? 11-15 through 11-19 show it as well.

 

you lost me on the abbreviations.. o_O

 

FSM == Factory Service Manual.

 

Argggghhh.... Didn't we already go over this??

 

if you want a dash im selling a black dash u can pm me if ur interested.

 

no we jsut went over on how i painted my dash that rediculous black... i'm needing to know how to get the dash off... never got info how to ..

and i don't have money to buy a FSM...

but iono...

 

See my sig...

 

thanks man.. i'm sorry bout that.. didn't reconise the signature.. preciate it and many thanks.

 

ok....... I need some help please!!

i removed ALL the SCREWS and NUTS holding onto the dash... problem is..... on the passenger somewhere around the air bag... it seems like something is still holding onto it.. when i try to pull towards me, it wants to come out, but it feels like theres a clip holding onto it..... what can this be? am i missing a screw? and yes i did pop the little vents off to get the two screws out.. the FSM doesn't show much... in fact it was missing places where there were screws... so i am stuck here... so if anyone has anything.. that would be great!
thanks

 

Assuming you're having problems pulling the passenger side airbag, pull the glovebox and get your head up in there. There are some pretty tricky screws hiding up there holding the airbag in place. Study and stare for a good minute, you'll see them.

 

ok....

 

ok... i was wondering if i have to get the top 2 weird looking screws under the airbag out as well? i already got the 2 on the sides and the 2 from the back..

here is a high quality picture.

 

Wait, does that mean you painted your dash INside your car?

 

T-50 tamper-resistant torx socket. The only place I found that had the size you need was sears. When I took my dash off to do my heater core I removed all the screws. It will look like this when you are done

 

Holy massive inline picture. This is why we use thumbnails.

 

LMAO Fixed!

 

to everyone that helped me on this.. i finally got my dash off ready to be properly painted buy professionals at a paint shop and body shop..

problem is.. i gotta remember which screw goes where when i install the pieces back in.
