i'm doing this even as we speak. i have mine all visable 5 pcs. i don't see removing the dash is necessary. the one center is behind the center vents themselves and it comes off on a brkt. but no amount of writing is going to completely explain the process. i bought the cd from repairflix and well just not enough info. good but inadequate.

so if u want my 2 cents go here http://www.pindelski.com/ buy the yearly dues something like 30 dollars and you will have one of the finest walk thru with fotos money can buy. 92 fotos with explanations. and the good thing is you'll save $$ on just this job to more than justify the purchase. i've got it on my laptop that's sitting in my front seat for easy reference. thomas even tells you that you need a 5.5mm socket to remove the screws on the cv's bracket. i'm trying the diaphragm replacement method over buying new pods. i may end up buying all new pods but i wanted to see if it could be done as i have been told.

and Steve is right. you need to be able to bend your arms and hands backwards cause there is no easy path.

now picture this i'm better than 6-1 and i weigh 350 lbs and i am way over 50 way way over. try getting that turned sideways to pull those little clips off the pods without breaking the little tips off. not a pretty picture.

good luck
