Pull your glove box out. If you already have a new dash pad replacement you will see the threaded pegs that hold it in place. This will give you a good idea of where they are. Start undoing the nuts. Work your way across. Depending on how nimble you are you might have to pull the radio and the guages. It has those thin self cutting nuts like what some emblems have so you will need to get square on them. Pretty simple hope this helps

Wish I could help, but i gotta do the same thing. Email me with results. Think of it as a courtesy to an exiled fellow Texan. I call Flower Mound home.

Sure helps to have the gauge bezel out too. They couldn't make them more difficult to get to!

I had to pull the Golve box, dash bezel & Light switch. Radio would be helpful to remove.

Everbody has probably already got all of this dash pad business figured out but here's my tid bits of info.
If I recall correctly, there are four phillips head screws going through the dash pad into j-nuts on the lower side of the dash pad. On the firewall side there are nuts threaded onto the studs that are protruding through the dash sheetmetal from the pad. I do not remember the qty, but at least five. A couple of them are really hard to get to. The ones on the ends of the pad and the one by the wiper switch come to mind. Anyway, hope some of this helped.

Like everyone else said, pull the cluster and glove box. I'm sure it will help to pull the radio, but I can't speak from experience on that since I don't have a radio (just a big hole thanks to a PO). It's also a good time to make sure all your wiring under the dash is nice and pretty too.
