just start pulling bolts and screws out till it comes out. You do not need to take the windshield out. TAking it out is easy....putting it all back together can be a pain

so windshield doesnt need to come otu in removal or installing?? and does the steering column need to come out or just the steering wheel??

i think that you can just pull a few bolts for the steering column and lower it down a little. That will make it alot easier to get the dash out. I pulled my dash out and put it back in probably 6 times this year and I havent taken the windshield out once :D
There are bolts under the speaker covers, 3 more i think in the center vent on top the dash, and a bunch along the bottom... You will have to take the grey dash bezel off to get to a few others i think too. SOrry but I cant remember exactly where they all are. its not too bad to find them
good luck
