I took my dash off last week. Came stuck a few times but managed to solve my own problems.

You need to take your steering wheel off and the stalks to get the bottom dash off.

The key barrel also blocks one screw so you will need to free up the steering column a bit to move it.

Cant think of much else? Just remember to disconnect your battery when removing air bags and to unclip wires before yanking at bits of plastic because I snapped one doing that LOL

Anything else mate, is it mainly just screws that need coming out for the bottom one and the steering wheel?

Theres two screws either side towards the bottom, with covers over them, another 2/3 behind steering wheel that clamp it onto the metal frame. Can't really remember about the others but it will seem like its stuck on in the middle when you go to remove it, thats because the heater vents are glued on I think,just tug at the middle and the sponge layer will separate from the bottom dash, shouldnt rip the sponge (I did a messy job of mine with force and the sponge was fine)

Think thats about it really, did mine few weeks back though and I didn't really pay much attention when I was doing it.

I wonder how many screws you will have left over when you put it back together, I had a few when I was working on an old corsa a couple years ago,lol!
