Advise on Lower Dash Removal 69 RoadRunner

[70RR]

Is there a special trick for removing the Lower Dash Pad from a 69 RR...
I removed all my A/C hoses but, damn is it tight or what? Does starting from either direction help? Looking at my new Dash pad I had no idea they had that many nuts holding this on..Any tips that would help me from losing my mind and all the skin off my knuckles would be greatly appreciated...Thank You in Advance..Rick ...:eusa_think:

Rick....sorry to say there really is no flow to the madness occured while trying to take that out. Uni-Wiggle, extensions and your ratchet will have to be your weapon of choice. Prepare for a head rush!

Take the seat out, it only takes 5 or 10 minutes. Then when you get tired you can take a nap.

If it's similar to a '68, there are also two screws that come in from the front side, behind the switch panel.

the lower dash is a piece of cake compared to the upper.....seat can stay in...just need deepwell,knuckle and ratchet

I personally found that one I had the gauge cluster, ash tray and switch panel out it wasn't so bad (a lot of scraps and cuts on my arms though).
