Hello all. I am in need of help removing the dash pad on a 68 Impala. I have removed the 4 nuts on the passenger side in the glove box area, and the 2 screws near the top of the instrument cluster. It seems there is something still holding the pad in place. Reaching my hand under it seems like there's another nut i need to remove, but it also seems like i have to remove the cluster to get to it. Can anyone help? A schematic or step by step would be appreciated!!!! thanks!!!!

cluster must be removed, be careful not to break the top right screw on the cluster, everyone does.

There is a stud with a nut in the far left corner. If you dont have A/C or Astro Ventilation, you might be able get at it but it's way easier to get at if you remove the cluster. Don S

yes i've check youtube, but no 68 specific videos. i'll just have to wing it with the cluster removal. i've removed them before, but not without feeling like i've forced it out. always feel like there's gotta be a better way......

thanks to both of you.

thanks for the responses- in addition to the one in the far left corner that 68ss427 mentioned, there were two more studs above the cluster. it took forever because of the cluster removal but i got it out. well worth my time, and overpay for the pad, but it is clean! thanks again.

I wrap the steering column with bubble wrap and loosen and lower it some.
