Remove two bolts from the lower corners of the pad and two more on either side of the steering-column gap. The speedo cable snaps into the back of the cluster and MUST be disconnected prior to pulling the pad forward. Make sure all connections (clock lights, primary harness, ashtray light, cigarette lighter, fuse-box harness and convertible controls) have been undone and the radio and heater controls have been removed in one piece. If your car has A/C, remove the screw holding the large plastic duct to the vent prior to removing the controls.
