of course, mine is cracked, splintered, and barely holding on. i also have to replace the speakers up there, so i figured i can do both at the same time. is it difficult to remove the dash board? also, where can i get a new one at?

 

Are you wanting the whole dash, or just the dash pad

 

Its really not that hard at all. Theres like 7 or 8 screws on the bottom of the front lip that come out and it just slides off. Ebay has them for like $65 to $80 but you may be able to find one cheaper at a junkyard.

 

You sure about that? I could have sworn it was 8 screws, and half were on the back lip, and the other half in the defogger vent. For the speakers, I wou;d suggest that you get a stubby screwdriver if you don't have one already I can't remember if they're slotted or phillips.

 

Sry u may be right, its been a good minute since I took my pad off.

 

No need to be sorry, I haven't pulled one in about 3 years, but I had to take it off like 4 times and replace it twice in about a month. (Don't ask, you probably don't wanna know.

 

the manual shows a lot more screws, but numbers arent important. theres no hidden screws or ones you can only spin a tiny bit at a time?

 

Don't think so. Use a magnetic screwdriver, if you've got a magnetic screwdriver, use it on the top screws. Dropping them SUCKS. Trust me, I know.

 

yea, i picked up a screw driver at walmart for like $14 simply because it had the torx style heads. it turns out it also has one of them magnetic reachers, which has really come in handy many times now

 

Oh yes, magnetic pickups are a mechanics best friend, and you'll hate yourself for not having one when you get used to using them. I was putting a condenser in an S-10 a couple weeks ago, and had everything in place, I was just putting the fan shroud together, and Id be done. I accidentally knocked a 3" extension down into the grill through the hood safety catch hole. I didn't have a pickup, and ended up having to pull the condenser again to get the damn thing. Never let yourself go through that. Ever.
