To work on the instrumet panel, or to be exact, to get behind it. you have to drop the steering column. I've had my panel out and back in 3 times in as many days. It's not that bad, if you're careful. First thing to do, if you have the torque shear bolts is to get 4 13mm head bolts with an 8mm X 1.25 thread about 1.5" long, that will simplify things later on. To get the shear bolts out, use a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and cut a slot in each head for a screwdrver blade to get them out. There are two 8mm head bolts that hold the panel in each bottom corner behind the panel, the passenger side is accessible by removing the plug in the dash down low on the passenger side. The flasher can has to be removed also before the panel will come out along with the fuse panel connectors,quick dsconnect for the headlight indicator wire, and speedo cable. Take care pulling the panel out, it will likely hang up on the top corners at the screw mounting plates, and the top center plate will catch on the harness. Also be careful of the heater control panel, it is plastic and can break easily, it can be replaced by an aluminum panel from OGTS. HTH.
