I think the person who wrote it used a Dremel to To be honest, the first time I removed the dash it took about 3/4 hour, including removing the shear bolts that hold the steering column in place. Putting everything back together again took about 30 minutes. 2nd time round, it took me 1/4 hr to get it all out, and 1/4 hr to restore it back together again. > cut open a portion of the heater box to get at the van, and then > glued it back together. Does anyone who has done the replacement > think that this might be workable, even if it is a bit of a hack? Once the dash is out, removing the heater box is a piece of cake. Splitting it is a pain in the proverbial, but it's easily epoxyed back together again, so I really wouldn't shy back from tackling the job "front on", so to speak!!! -- Tim What scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch? -- J.D.
