This procedure involves the stripping off of the instrument panel, the cross cowl support tube, and the steering column, with the disconnection of many electrical connectors which entails pulling on some delicate plastic tabs on different assy's which as should be appreciated is something very difficult to achieve by most home mechanics. Start off with the removal of cable connected to the negative terminal, then the removal of the driver's airbag module and the steering wheel. After that, remove glove box assembly and then remove the nut and bolt securing passenger air bag module and then unplug the electrical connectors where special attention must be made for the twin lock connectors to prevent damage of the same. Loosen and then set aside the instrument cluster bezel, the instrument cluster, the centre console trims, and the heater/AC control panel. Continue and go to the removal of the steering column, the center console, front door scuff plates, and kick panels for both sides. Pop out the upper and lower bolts of the left and right air vents located in the upper instrument panel, pull out with a trim tool the left and right trim pieces along the sides of the windshield pillars. Unbolt and unbend the fasteners and clips to open the upper instrument panel, also making a point of cutting the leads behind it. For the left lower instrument panel, the first thing to should be done is to remove the release handle for the hood, and also disconnect the diagnostic connector. Pull out the plastic pins through the vent ducts and slip off the lower instrument panel fasteners while tracing the positions of all the fasteners. The procedure of installing is just the opposite of that of removing. If the cowl reinforcement beam has to be removed, then the following process should then be undertaken in the following manner; remove the bolts displayed in the earlier figure, then get rid of all components connected to the beam such as electrical parts and cables. Remove the electrical connectors of the steering and the bolts holding the column on the beam. To remove the braces from the tube to other elements, the bolts must be loosened and then detached The two bolts that link the beam into the body saddles at the extremities must also be undone before the beam is extracted from the car. Removal and Installation are in most cases inverse of each other.
