biggest pain is getting the hoses loose that go through the firewall, they are baked on......you'll probably need a knife, a screwdriver to pry with, and small hands/arms.....i ended up doing it on my back on a creeper under the car with a flashlight in my mouth

once you get the dash off it's really not that big of a task

yeah you gotta drop the steering column to get the dash out.....and watch out for the rear view mirror or you will knock it off

there are screws behind access panels on the sides of the dash.....and i think there are 2 big screws in the middle of the dash and 2 down on the bottom middle..........not really very many......i think that is all, i just looked around, they are not hard to find/figure out

make sure you disconnect all the wire clips

to get the dash out you kind of have to lift up and out......i straddled where the e-brake is and put my knee under the dash for leverage and lifted up and pulled back with my hands
