Hey Guys,
Just was in the process of removing my interior tonight out of my S13 and ran into a bit of a problem. When i went to take the black piece that surrounds the guage cluster it gets caught on the lever used to adjust the steering wheel, anyways after some shifting and twisting i broke a chunk off the effin thing :evil: .
Is there any trick to doing this??
Thanks,
Fitzy

it can be removed without dropping the steering column, but it’s tricky… and more often than not you’ll end up cracking/breaking it.
once the panels have been removed you only have 2 get at 2 bolts to drop/pull down on the column… simple.

this is what i’m finding out, i’m 1 for 2 so far for removing it w/o breaking anything. I think i’ll unbolt the column just for simplicity sake.
Thanks guys!

lowering tha steering column is easy, ive done it on a few 240s. if i remember correctly, theres 4 nuts jus undo them 4 and tha whole thing will drop on your face! but yea, anyways jus make sure u get someone or something to hold it up after the 4 nuts are off. 😉
