Instrument panel in TA22 help?

[shogun990]

I was wondering if anyone could give me some instructions on how to remove the instrument panel form a TA22 Celica.
I started undoing it, but wont seem to come off? What do I need to undo to get it off?

Thanks, Luke

There's screws around the top of the panel as well as under the dash. Once all screws are out you also need to undo the speedo cable and heater cables.

I usually drop the steering column as well as it makes it easier to get out. Once its out far enough you can unplug all electrical connections.

Cheers,
Simon

pretty much what he said, but u also gotta get the glovebox out and undo the bolts holding the heater onto the dash, take that out too, and you may also need to look into the radio see if its connected or not.

The glovebox only needs to come out if you want the crash pad off, for the instrument panel its best to just disconnect the heater cable ends and pull it out complete (do this without touching the glovebox.
Theres 3 cables to undo for the heater controls, 1 speedo cable and about 6 bolts under the dash.

Thank you very much guys,

(For the cable’s, is it just a matter of unscrewing them by hand?)
If so ill give it a shot 2morrow and let you know how i go.

The dash can get stuck and be a pain in the butt. It usually requires a bit of 'gentle persuasion' and some tricky manoeuvring to be able to get to the plugs at the back. You may need lots of patients, and no pain receptors in your hands
