S14 Dash board replacement.

[aTx_S14]

I am replacing my dash board myself, and can't figure out where all the bolts are. i did a search but found nothing on taking them apart. Any links to tech site or tips?

Thanks

there should be like 6bolts all together remove the center console and bezels that hold the radio and such in, remove the heater vent under the windo in middle of the dash, remove (2? bolts there), then under the dash on each side ther should be a bolt or two.and finally the middle of the dash where you removed the redio there should be 2.

drop the steering column for ease of removal then put new one in

Check the FSM also. Im sure its listed there where the screws are located.

Do i have to remove my air bag first? How do I Remove the VIN? looks like its permanately attaced to the dash.

BTW
How come I can't Browse the install section on this forum?

^^ Factory Service Manual...there is actually 3 bolts under the defrost vents by the windshield.

The defrost vents are fragile so I'd take a flathead and carefully remove the vents

is that your tank in your sig? If it is, its pretty fucking awsome

[Sir]

the side panels under the dash (ecu cover and fuse cover) will hide the 2 10mm bolts as well, and I could be wrong but I recall one being in the vent on a pass side?
30min of work and beer.
done.
