I need to take off my FD's guage panel for mkoch1 to put on CF layer. But it's not coming off. Anyone know how to remover the panel?

Thanks.

 

Remove the upper and lower column covers. Sit in seat and grasp top of cowl with each hand. Pull cowl directly toward your chest. After a sound that makes you swear you broke it, the gauge pod will pop out. Reach behind and disconnect the wires.

 

There's a couple screws at the bottom of the panel-don't forget to take those off too.

 

Already took off the screws. Try to pull it a bit. But the damn thing doesn't seem to move an inch. So I come here to ask first. I don't want to break anything.

 

I had to tug pretty hard on mine. It made the cracking noises like DamonB mentioned. Try pulling on the lower side first, then try to grip the top part and pull back. Reaching around and popping the instrument panel harnesses left siome nice gashes on my forearms.

 

Keep tuging. There is nothing to break .

 

If you don't pull directly out, you will break something. The first time I did it I pulled up at a slight angle and the hood part of it cracked where the one clip is. MAKE SURE you pull straight out. If you are, pull as hard as you want.

 

Why don't they just put everything on screw?

Oh well, guess I have to use some force.

 

I finally get the gauge panel off. Thanks everyone.
