I'm assuming you have already removed the side pillars where the tweeters are and there are 2 screws in the top vents right below the window; there is one in the far left top vent next to the tempature sensor and one in the far right vent. There are two big gold screws that hold down the air bag and dash from the bottom and smaller screws on the corners of the glove copartment and drivers side. You have to unplug the temp sensor and unplug all the wires. If you have done all this, you have to squeeze in the dash to remove one side and do the samething on the otherside; it would be good if you had second set of hands on this to make it easier to take out and put back in. As you squeeze in the dash so that it flex's in the middle push it up at the sametime, I believe there is groove that the dash sits in next to the fire wall. Hope this helps.

I removed mine wasn’t very hard just remove all bolts and clips and disconnect main harnesses and remove stereo/gauge cluster etcetera etcetera. Only hard part is working the dash out you got to maneuver it around a bit.
