Question Dash/Heater core removal

Hey everyone, I've found a few threads on this but they're terrible and haven't helped me at all i was wondering if someone can point me to a good thread or a factory service manual on how to remove my dash to remove my heater core I'm trying to remove it and i can't even get my dash out I've been working on it for over 3 hours and I'm ready to just start breaking pieces off lol. So if anyone can show me the right way I've removed probably 75 nuts/screws/bolts still can get the top half of the dash off "leather" part let alone the plastic i have all vents out but the 2 farthest on the face of the dash how can i remove it? thanks

Your best bet is to download the factory service manual and go from there. I want to say it took less than an hour to take the dash out completely and 25-30 screws/bolts. Go to evoscan.com and you'll find the service manual download link.

Make sure you're unbolting the stuff that's in the radio / HVAC location
Kick panel under the steering wheel needs to come off, there are a few bolts behind that
Bolts on either side of the dash where the doors close
Bolts behind the glove box and up near the passenger airbag
Bolts behind the gauge cluster

i removed it before and i'll tell you this, look for EGBEATER's thread about removing the sound deadening. in there he shows how to remove the dash.
