Ok, as usual, I have run into a stumbling block.
The Haynes Manual, in all its omnipotence, says that I must remove the
tach and speedo before removing the dash. Can I reach the screws above
the two instruments from below? Or are they Real Tight (tm) and thus
require extra work?
Reason I ask, the nice (looking) knurled nuts have managed to hold on for
dear life. I can't budge them with my hands (but I now have extra holes
in my thumbs-- ow) and I don't want to wreck the knurling with the
pliers/vice grips... mostly because I can't get enough grip on them
without installing a reverse-bending elbow on to _me_.
The steering column came out without much trouble, but I got a lot of dust
(from the felt) in my eyes. My advice to others-- wear glasses!
