dash pad removle

Those require a 1/4" hex socket.
Yep, and they are a booger to get to at the correct angle. You can see how tight it is down there in my photo. Actually, the picture needs to be rotated 90 deg. counter-clockwise to be in the right orientation (you can tell by the rubber stop for the glove box).That was the only way I could get my camera behind the dash for that shot.
