    DIY: Radio/Center Dash Removal

    Step 1. Stare at your dash


    Step 2. Start by popping off the gear stick gator and unscrewing your shift knob.


    Step 3. Now put your hand in the hole where the rubber was and pull up carefully, unclipping the gear stick silver surround.


    Step 4. You should now see two screws, one on each side under what is left of the center dashboard.


    Step 5. Once undone, on some cars there are some 8mm bolts which you can access with a spanner, undo these. You may need to go through the glove box to get to one of them! This should now allow you to lift the top radio part off.


    Step 6. Then un-clip the top.

    PM mods. also, you can reach the driver side screw from the access panel under the steering column. and the other side from the glove box hole. much faster than an open end wrench. you only have to loosen it. i should get a pic of that up, those baffeled me for a couple years...
