Hi all as above what the best way to remove the dashboard, also to remove the rear speaker pods, and Head liner?
Cheers

 

Remove all the trim, glove-box, heater controls, ashtray panel, centre console, clocks. upper/lower column shrouds.

Steering wheel off, Column out. Pinch bolt where it joins the rack, then 2 nuts underneath and 2 nuts facing driver.

7 Torx bolts out. 2 each side and 3 along the top.

Support straps behind the Ashtray panel, 10mm nut behind the heater controls.

I think thats pretty much it, obviously disconnect wiring and plugs as you pull the dash forward. It's really not that hard. Hope I didn't forget anything.

 

By the way, I got my headliner out absolutely intact without removing any glass. I just took the visors out and the pillar trims where the seat belts are. Then just eased it out from behind the seals, using a flat bladed screwdriver and alot of care. Took about 30 mins.

 

Cheers Christain, I'll def try and get the head liner out with out taking the glass out, just take my time with it.
Any ideas on the rear speaker pods?

 

Never had the rear pods out!! LOL. Sorry.

 

i think the rear pods are riveted on so will be a case of drilling the rivets out try to fish the leftover bits of rivets out from where they land in the rear arches and sills as they will rust pretty quickly if left and probably take your sills with them eventually!

 

dont take the steering column nut fully of till u have yanked the steering wheel off its splines otherwise u will end up with a broken nose

 

Ta for the tip, that would have been funny if I had bust my nose doing it.

 

Would only be funny if you video'd it and posted it on YouTube though.

 

Well I mount my web cam in the conner just incase I hurt myself! Then you can all have a look!lol

 

Yes they are riveted on. No real worry bout fishing the bits out that fall down inside the rear quarter as the rivets should be aluminium so wont rust.
