What is involved in removing the dashpad from one of these cars? This does not appear to be covered in the manuals. I've gotten conflicting information on whats involved. Local shop says it would take them a whole day to remove/replace, and "not to try it at home," while I've heard from others that you undo the screws and it just slides out (I already have the wood piece off). Does the instrument cluster need to be removed? Time and cost considerations will make the diffrence between living with a repair of a crack in the dash, or trying to replace it.
