richard cash Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Im trying to remove the entire dash ready for a retrim however after getting all the bolts out the way and completly loose i cant lift it over the steering column. The indicator stalks are in the way as well as the steering wheel tilt slalk. Also the gear lever seems to be hitting the botom part of the dash. How the hell do i take it out??

absz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Are you just removing the panels or entire dash as the panels come off in sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard cash Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 ive removed the panels, clocks/dials. Climate control etc, steering wheel, handbrake and the harness from both sides of the dash by the footwells. The dash is completly loose. It can move a good 3 or 4 inches side to side and upwards and forwards. But i cant get it over the stalks or gearstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You could try removing the plastic trim from around the steering column and indicator/windscreen wiper stalks and then undoing the 4 bolts at the bottom that hold the steering column in place. This will allow you to drop the whole steering column and you should be able to pull the whole dashboard out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Do a search on heater matrix as there is a guide on removing and refitting the whole dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
