It's a huge pain if you do it by the book. If you are creative it's easy as can be. I did it in 45mins but you run the risk of damaging pieces. I risked it cause I'm not pulling the dash out.

Do you mind running down the approximate steps.. Drop the center peice, air bag and glove box? How much is the part. 30$ ish?

Pull the air bag and glove box. Remove the duct that's over the blend door. Oh pull the stereo head unit. Pulling the duct isn't easy and you need to get creative. Also finding the bolts that hold it in is tough. It's not for the faint of heart, had a few techs watch me do it in the parking lot one day cause I was driving when it failed. Took me 30mins.

Job complete.. The hardest part by far was getting that center vent elbow out and back in..time like is about right.. 45 mins to get it out And I took me time putting the dash back together

How about the drivers side, how is it to do?

1tonpower · Dec 15, 2012

It can probly be done the same way.. It will be tricking getting the drivers side center vent pipe pipe out... There's not a lot of room to slip the cross tube off. You may have to take the gage cluster out to. To do the drivers
Side the air bag and glove box wouldn't have to be removed.
