Should be (4) 9/32" screws in front along bottom and (1) phillips head screw on passenger side. REmove this, push pad forward and tilt up. You will probably have to work it out as it is a kinda tight fit.

You might have to take the screws out of the gauge bezel in order to get it loose enough to take the pad out.

Taking the side molding, between the door and post, out (if equipped) makes it alot easier too.

Yea I forgot about the dash bezel. Sorry. I just had mine out today putting in the 5" tach where the old fuel gauge was.

thanks. the dash had one of those cheap overlays on it and it was covering the bolts. came off pretty easily.

thanks again for the help.
