I know there is 3 nuts that need to be removed however I can't see them even with the glovebox removed?
What am I missing here?

 

Nobody has done this?

 

Soooooo many posts about this already that nobody will even tell u to use the search bar

 

^^Ditto! I'll tell you this, take out the center console. They are very hard to get to and you have to feel for them to find them.

 

Here is the link/DIY to get to the wood trim.

Well if you read my post well enough you would see my car is a 97 and this is not the same dash configuration as the early cars with the multi piece dash which is NOT the same as all of the search results so next time you want to Join the search police so early on make sure that you have all your bearings straight first before you inject your baseless opinion

 

And like I said...sooooo many posts about how to do it in the 97+. Its supposed to be the same process with or without the passenger side airbag

 

There is 5 nuts, 3 around the glove box lock, 2 under airbag. Take out center consol and the lower paneling under g-box and g-box. It will simplify things so much. The nuts are 10mm. I recent a ratcheting wrench for a couple. Or loosten them then remove with socket and fingers! Then it just pulls out. Unbolt vent from wood, dont forget the 4 lil baby screws. Thats a brief lil summary, enjoy!

 

Thank you that helped a lot and I will try to give it a go tomorrow or the following day and report the results on this thread for future reference

 

Cool...its not hard. I have big hands so I had done difficulties. Why did I have to be 6'4" 262lbs...was good for football but not for working on cars. I had to take out my pass seat just to have room...sucks!
