84 dash pad removal
I'm removing my dash pad in order to replace the worn out speakers. I've used the search function only to find conflicting info in some of the previous posts. According to my shop manual there are 8 screws that need to be removed. I've removed three above the instrument cluster, two by defroster vent, and two just above a/c vents. The question is, where is that eighth screw? I suspect it's on the passenger side above the bread box but don't see one in that area. When I pull on the dash the drivers side will slide out of the clips but the passenger side definately feels like there is something holding it in place.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for that tip, I finally found it and it seems the only way to get to it was to remove the fuse panel trim. Once I removed that final screw the dash slid rearward with no problem. Thanks again!
