i have posted on this before, but now I have a 6 week deadline before this car goes to the salvage yard. my most recent 850 has a cracked counsul, i'm still dumbfounded as to how this occured. the part where the radio and a/c controls is cracked, so is some of the back stucture.hence, the dash rattles and shackes like your in an old truck.somehow the bottom quarter is seperated from the center.. one again, dumbfounded.looks very tacky. i want to eventually fix it.
the only way to fix this problem is to replace the entire counsul.. i have aready unbolted everything in my parts car, except for to large bolts behind where the radio and the ashtray used to be, they appear to need the assistance an airwrench to be losened. are those two bolts the last key to getting this whole assembly out. so i need to remove the steering wheel. the dash is going to be saved too.
also broken in the current assembly are the clamp holders and all the fasteners for the dash.
so my instrument cluster is duct taped and the dash is kind just floating. all i can think of is the car came from florida and the UV did the plastics in.
i need some insight, and if possible a link to a page which might show me how to do this pic for pic.
