107 Instrument Panel Removal 1986

[jml214]

Hi.

After reading all of the posts, threads and replys I have this feeling that I will have a clock that is right two times per day. It certainly appears that the instrument cluster does not have enough room to be wiggled out without removing the steering wheel and all of the assorted items involved (air bag). Has any one found an easier way to do remove the panel so I can get the clock repaired?

Can the steering wheel column be lowered from the dashboard? Just a little?
Thanks, Monty
