Default Driver Side Piller Removal

I am trying to remove the driver side piller to install a dual pod on a 92. Do you have to remove the dash pad to get the piller out? Any tips or tricks to get this thing out.

Don't know about the 92, but my 84 side pillar is held in place by 2 screws.

The 2 screw should be all, then just wiggle and pull if off.

My piller has three screws in it and it seems to have a lip on the lower side that tucks under the dash pad. If I just pull will I break the dash pad? Has anyone done this on a new interior?

Thats right my 95 does have 3 screws, my 86 has 2 sorry. Yea, just unscrew them an pry it out. I installed some tweeters on my 95 and had to take the pillars off. I don't remember having much trouble with them just having to wiggle them off.

RRT thanks got it off this morning. You have to remove the little vent and it slides out. Thanks for the help.
