Help! Need Dash Removal Tips!

[saxon_schmauderer]

Hey guys, trying to pull my WHOLE dash, not just the standard parts that everyone does. I do not feel like purchasing a 150$ CD and waiting for it to be shipped just for this one thing. Can someone with a service manual help me out? I have removed what seems like all of the bolts and it still wont budge. Thank You!

Did you get the 4 (2 on each side) that are tucked into the pockets at the very edge of the driver and passenger side firewall (from the engine bay?)

I assume you already took out the front cowl and wiper assembly etc

Yes I did get those. I its still not budging. Im going to continue attempting when its light out tomorrow. Hopefully it is just something simple. I didn't realize how extensive it was to remove this beast. Thanks

It only cost me $20 for the CD, and here it is (2005 manual). Everyone, feel free - Dodge put just enough info there to get you into trouble!

I could never get a cd to help me, i finally talked to X2 builders and they got me a walkthrough, but even then it was more than that.

You have the lower bolts in the cabin, near where the corner grounds go? there is also a bracket from the trans tunnel that goes up sort of near the right side of the steering column. Obviously you have the center trim and dash trims out, as well as all gauges, steering wheel, pedal assembly dropped, and steering column unbolted and dropped?

Thanks for this! It's much needed for some of the annual service that needs to be done on my car.

Thank you guys for all the help. I really do appreciate it. It was the most frustrating thing ever to take the whole thing out in hopes of getting the passenger ac vent out. Well, needless to say after hours of removing bolts and trying to figure out the removal, it seems that the AC vent surrounding is molded into the whole dash. Nothing a little dremeling couldn't fix......Pics to come
