Need help removing dashboard

I'm trying to remove the dashboard on my 1996 nissan maxima.I managed to remove everything , but I can't pull the passenger side off it feels as if it was still bolted on.I got underneath with a lamp but didn't see any bolts, the only thing I haven't messed with is the air bag in the dashboard on passenger side.
Please help :confused.

It's hard to tell from what you wrote, but it sounds as though you may not have removed the passenger-side airbag. If that's true, then I'm here to tell you that you have to remove the airbag. I removed mine using a 1/4" drive air ratchet; if you use just a ratchet, you'll be there forever.

Did you use a T50 "Security Torx" to loosen the air bag bolts? A regular Torx will not work.

Yup. The lights are on but nobody's home.

Even though we're speaking to an empty crowd, I managed to get mine off with hand tools to replace a heater core. PITA but it can be done
