A step-by-step guide would be lengthy and overcomplicated for the task at hand. It looks like a big job, but it's not. I've taken apart a VX dash and a couple of weeks ago, my son took apart and reinstalled his entire dash
twice in the space of a week ('99 VT) . Neither of us had done it before. You only need to know three things:
- Start with the console and work your way forward (yes, you have to start all the way back there to remove the dash, because each part holds down the end of the next part all the way along);
- Don't force anything. If you try to pry it off but it feels like something is holding it back somewhere, then something is holding it down somewhere. Stop pulling and use a torch to look everywhere on and around the part for a screw you've missed; and
- There are a LOT of screws. Like bucketloads of the things. Thankfully, the majority of them are the same size, so you don't have to keep track of them too hard.
Just don't rush it, don't be rough and try and yank things off. If you've missed a screw, you'll know straight away because it will feel anchored down in a particular spot. The parts are more flexible than you are giving them credit for.
Beg, borrow or steal a cordless drill and phillips head bit. Thank me later.
You'll have the whole thing off in under 20 minutes and be wondering what you were so concerned about.
