Just like the title says. I have the AE86 service manual, but wasn’t sure if someone has pictures / video on how to remove and reinstall. Let me know. Thanks!

There was a guide years back before the forum crash, but the FSM should be enough. Its a pita no matter what...

DID YOU GET IT OUT ALREADY?

The tips I can give are: theres a bolt behind the far left pass vent, pull cluster and push bezel out from backside, theres one behind the clock bezel. All speaker panels, glove box, and center console stuff need to come out to get to all the bolts as well.

Sure it's a pita to remove/replace but that is only because Toyota do things right, the hidden stuff is done properly too.
I once navigated in a Peugeot 205gti and we had to retire as the dashboard literally fell off :lol:

Yeah! Hope I did ok, and it all looks flush.

It looks PERFECT to me.
Job well done & that is one clean dash you have there.

Those of you are planning to get on hands on AE86 dash in a future, just handle it with an EXTRA CARE.
Small accidental hit by tool may crack.

Also, be careful when you wash / clean them.
I once located a perfect condition dash from yard, took it home and start cleaning.
It was summer, sudden temp drop by cold water cracked the middle of the dash...sad memory.
