Default How hard is it to take out a dash in a 96-00

Anyone been through this, I have all gray interior and I've found someone who will trade me there complete interior thats black for my interior and some money. I want the black dash as well. So I'm quite curious how hard the dash is going to be.

Very Very easy.

There's 2 screws I believe for the outer ring/molding. That comes out. Then there's 5 screws to pop the cluster out. The plastic faceplate is held on by clips that just pop out if you want to take it out.

He isn't talking about the instrument cluster...


The dash is pretty difficult. The concept isn't difficult, but finding all the bolts you need to take out and all the plugs you need to disconnect is not easy. Also, you will need another person once it is ready to come out.

Sounds good, I have a buddy who works at collision revision who's pretty good at taking interior pieces out im pretty decent at doing it myself. So if you were in my position what would you do take out the dash first or last?

keep track of all the screws...and dont break anything. after all the bolts are out it practically falls out. dont force it...
