Help with dash removal
 

I need to remove the dash to replace the A/C core. I have followed the procedure per the FSM exactly but after removing the 6 bolts, 2 nuts, and bracket, the left side of the dashboard is still firmly attached.

Can anyone who has removed the dashboard before help me with what I've missed?

I never got any input on this but I found the problem - there is one more bolt with no rubber cap near the upper driver's side door hinge. That was the last thing holding the dashboard structure in.

thanks for efforts!

Thank you so much for posting your solution. I am using the same manual and am noticing it is glosses over details and forgets bolts. I found the blower motor bolt, and with your help, have now found the driver's side door bolt.

Bit of a bump really,

Looking to remove the dash but i don't want to remove the whole lot on the metal bars. i've seen some black screws, undone all the ones i can fins it at's still fixed in there.

Any suggestions.

Could you point it out on the pic above?
