Did not remove mine myself , but had a shop do it. Saw what they did after the fact. They took out entire dash ,took off steering wheel, to get to all screws , also the pieces on the sides are 'stuck' into pillars at door jamb. I had the replacement dash pad already there , it helped to check where the old is attached. Radio was still in its place after they took out dash. All back now so I cannot check , but if you still have problems email me I can ask shop what they did! Bjorn bsefeldt@mhinc.com
