I've been searching for the past 40 minutes and I didn't find a decent how to remove the dashboard tutorial...

I'm changing from black/red into the full red interior but I'd like some guidance with the dashboard removal...

Anybody got some tips/links?

Thanks in advance,
Dries

 

Have you thought about buying a OEM service manual? There is a ton of steps in there to get this off. I don't think I have ever seen a DIY post for it.

 

I have never seen a DIY, I have done it, and it is a PAIN in the ASS!

Good luck.

 

This has not been posted in detail. It is NOT the kind of work that a person at home should attempt without a service manual. It's a somewhat complicated procedure involving lowering the steering wheel and "ton of" fasteners that must be removed in just the proper sequence, not to mention wiring harnesses that need to be pulled.

Good luck man ... it's gonna take the whole day if not more.

Anyhow, like everyone said, this is some intense stuff and requires service manual ...

 

I found a service manual on eBay for $20.

It's been well worth it. If you keep an eye out, you can probably find one for that price or close to it.

 

goddamn guys.... I was hoping you guys were kidding... but I guess not

one more question : does anybody of you know, if you can remove/change the airbag in the dash (passenger) without removing the dash itself?
I guess this must be possible right?

ps. thanks for your replies
