How difficult to remove instrument panel w/o removing entire dash? The little pegs broke off my unit and I have another dash. Don't feel like removing the windshield. So how difficult is it and do you have any tips?

It can be done, my son took mine out to fix a bad speedo. It is not an easy job.

Not to bad to do. Just need to make sure you have all the screws out and not force anything so you don't break something else.

It's not hard, sometimes you have to be contortionist, make sure you have a lot of Band-Aid. I always cut up my knuckles back behind there.

I am thinking of just replacing the circuit board, since the reason I am replacing is the pegs on the middle connector are mostly broken off.

get a hot day and vasaline dash pads around the switches 24 hrs before and get out a butter knife and your picks and take out your steering assy and radio ash tray glove box insert that gives u the room and wear rubber gloves it has some sharp stuff under there and un hook your battery! TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE SPEEDO CABLE! and a pillow enjoy
