removing the evo8 dash. i need help or im going to remove my hair

[evodan2004]

ok im trying to remove the evo8 dash. im having some issues. i have removed most of the easy stuff and all the bolts i can see or get to. and it still will not move one bit. can you guys help me out through this and guide me through the steps? i spent ''no lie here'' 2+ hours on another forum searching and for some reason the search function does not even work right.

thanks to anyone who can help me.

p.s. is there an online manual that can be posted or can someone get it posted for me. thanks

ok i have now got it to move. im at the point where everything is unbolted ''i think'' but the top of the dash ''by the window'' seems to be the only spot its stock. is there clips or do i just yank hard?? lol

thanks mac214.

is that a pic with the top dash cover off or is it a pic from looking under the dash looking up through the glove box.

[mac214]

I think it is looking up through the glove box, but I have never done it myself.

Just got done doing this Dan. Hit me up in a PM and we can work it out. You dont have to take the airbag out though to get the dash out.
