Dashboard Removal
7. Lift the dashboard as you pull so it will slide up and off the guide pin at the middle; hold it from underneath so it won't fall when it comes off the
pin.
8. Install the dashboard in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the bolts gradually, in an alternating pattern, checking for dashboard fit and wire
routing.
CAUTION:
-
Make sure the dashboard fits onto the guide pin correctly.
-
Before tightening the dashboard bolts, make sure the instrument wire harness is not pinched.
