Can anyone tell me a general location of the nuts that hold the dash pad on. I know getting to them is not easy, however my gauges, radio, glove box liner etc are all out at the current time. Also the seats are out so can lay flat to get up under the dash. Thanks for any replies.

do you have to remove the whole dash or just the dash pads?

Just the top pad ?? Use a 1/4 drive 6" extension and "feel" for the nuts. It kinda pointless telling you where they are. But they are evenly spaced so once you've found two you'll have an idea where the rest should be.

I agree with Stanton. I've done this job. A long extension on a 1/4" socket set will do the trick. They are WAY up in there, roughly directly behind the "pointed edge" of the dash pad & I think they're 5/16" speed nuts if I remember correctly (?).....about 6 or so of them, evenly spaced as Stanton mentioned.
