I don't remember the exact details anymore.

You need to remove the obvious things like the radio, climate control, speakers, glovebox, center counsel sides, under dash panel, etc to gain access to all the bolts.

The biggest PITA I remember is getting all the heater hoses back together inside the new dash.

Also, it's a good idea to label all the wires and where they went.

I spent much more time putting things back together than I did taking it out.

Yep, Steve I am going to have to agree with you on this one. It takes a heck of a lot more time putting it all back together. Most of that is contributed to lining up all the parts. They just dont like to match up they way they are supposed too.
