Default Removing 1995 dashpad

The dash on my 95 is curled up so I have a replacement. Does anyone have instructions they can post about removal of the dashpad. Also, does the pass airbag need to come out to do this?

Do you have a factory service manual?

I just did this but can't remember it very well (it was really late :-))

It's pretty easy though, from what I remember the airbag cover (the part you see on dash) is just attached to a metal frame that attaches to underside of dash - I'm pretty sure airbag can stay in place but I was taking that out too so that's why I don't remember as well.

Default Just did this

Remember to start at the right side of the dash, (passenger) It just ends up easier. I had to do it three times while working on PKE and got it down to 20 minutes. Send reply if you have any questions.
