- Fri Nov 30, 2012 8:46 pm #321262 yea the dash is all disconnected. it pulls out but need that steering wheel and turn singal, light switches out of the way....
the d.i.y. says to have the steering wheel drop after you take off the bolts. the last bolt i took off was from the picture above but it will NOT pull down...that damn screw is angled not straight down, but angled towards the driver. so it wont just pull down

tried wiglling
tried pulling steering wheel towards me.
tried almost every thing...
even took a heavy duty flat head, put it agains the screw and hit it with a mallot to make it angle downward
nothing has worked

part #2 is a clamp further down the column that holds the column in place. undo bolts #17 and the entire column drops down to make way for the dash to come out

EDIT: im like 99% sure on this one :lol:
