I havent really looked at how to do it yet but figured I would ask on here first for a walk through on removing it to make my process a lot faster and easier. My fiance took the car to Michigan so I wont be able to get at it for a few days so if anyone can help, that'd be great! Thanks in advance!

Are you looking at removing the entire dash, or just the radio surround? What exactly do you need to remove it for?

Well for 2 reasons. I'm going to replace the dash with another one that is in mint condition, mine has some tears in it. And I'm replacing my instrument cluster as the odometer is broken and reads 155K on it. I got the radio surrounding off as I put in a aftermarket cd player. I could figure out how to remove it, but since the car is not here and I'm wanting to get it done asap, I figured I'd ask on here for some help so I wouldnt have to look around for all the bolts to remove it

The gauges are easy, you just take the same piece off that you did for the radio. Then there is the upper trim piece around the gauges themselves. That part is a little tricky because of the headlight switch. You might just have to kind of bend it out of the way. Then you take out about 4-8 bolts (I can't remember exactly how many.) There is a push plug on the back of the gauges. It comes out easy, but is kinda hard to get into the new cluster as there isn't a whole lot of room to maneuver. As for the rest of the dash, sorry, can't help you there.

Thanks for the help. My fiance is back from Michigan now so I can go get it all taken care of. Hopefully the new gauge cluster will work better than my old one! I took a look at my new dash where the bolts are located so I think I got an idea as to where the dash is being bolted onto.

I notice you're from Findlay. I'm originally from Cincinnati.

Man, that used to be nice rabbit and quail hunting territory! You hunt?

Yeah I do, I got quite a few rabbits this year. I moved down here for college, I'm originally from a small farm town in Michigan that the population is only like 500. We own 400 acres of land up there that is just filled with deer, rabbits, pheasants, wild turkey.
