help removing instr. cluster
I have a plan I call "while I'm in the neighborhood". While I'm under there I repair, remodel or replace anything that looks like it might become troublesome. Doing as much as possible "while I'm in the neighborhood" means I don't have to dismantle it again!

I generally do things that way -
I decided to clean up my engine and bay this past summer - turned out to be a big 'neighborhood'
while I was in the neighborhood... I got a gasket kit from DMT to at least do the firewall. Dropped the engine, K and suspension. ended up doing rebuild on engine and trans and complete front end. Painted the bay and replaced or 'refurbished' everything as it went back in.
while I was in the neighborhood...of course some of that firewall stuff is accessed from inside. While it was out, I rebuilt the AC/ heater box.
while I was in the neighborhood...It did not make sense to do that without addressing leaks. Removed windshield and dash. Replace glass and gasket. Replaced dash pad and painted dash. Cleaned up and re-taped all harnesses.
while I was in the neighborhood...cleaned, painted and insulated firewall.
while I was in the neighborhood...replaced bushings and seals in wipers.
After all that, with everything back together I found
I still had a leak through the wiper pivot shaft.
If you are working on the wiper pivots either replace the bushings, add grease zirks or both...I did get in to the right one through glove box opening this past fall and pulled it to add a zirk, but I think I messed up the seal cause it was too cold and the caulk rope stuff was not soft enough. I will need to get at it again when its warmer.8)
