What a swine to do !!

The page on http://www.gbsportscar.com/Dashboard%20Removal.htm is very helpful.

One thing I did find that helped, and I'm not sure if its been mentioned here before, is that the small wing nuts that clamp the padded facia and are a real b**ger to remove when corroded but can be persuaded by slipping a 17mm socket over the wings thus allowing a little more torque to be brought to bear.

Note: Only do this after you have broken all your nails, cricked your neck, repaired the scrapped and scratched skin on your hands and sworn loud and often enough to make a miner blush.

There speaks a voice of experience. When you do come to put it back get someone to help you. It'll make life a lot easier. Well, less difficult anyway. The ideal "team" would be you, someone who's done one before, someone to supply tea/coffe on a regular basis and something to kick/punch/scream at.
