NOTICE: In the following text, there are references
to removing/installing bolts, etc. Additional hard-
ware (nuts, washers, etc.) that are removed must
always be installed in their original positions unless
otherwise specified. Non-specified torques are as
shown in the table in the General Information and
Routine Maintenance section.
General
To prevent possible injury or death
from battery explosion, batteries
should always be removed before
any servicing that could generate sparks or repairs
that require welding or cutting.
It is important to use a sharp drill bit when removing
the rivets on the side of the vehicle. Extreme care
must be used when drilling out the rivets located in
the front of the body and the bottom side of the
body. Excessive pressure could result in the drill bit
being forced through the body panel and penetrat-
ing a component, including the fuel tank. As extra
protection, it is recommended that a protective
piece of sheet metal be placed between the battery
and the rivet. Use of a drill depth stop will provide
additional protection.
In general, body component replacement can be accom-
plished with a minimum of specialized tools. Most body
components are held in place with conventional remov-
able hardware (nuts, bolts, washers and screws). Some
components are mounted with ‘pop’ rivets which require
that the rivet head be removed in order to push out the
shank of the rivet. The rivet head is easily removed by
drilling into the head with a sharp drill bit that is slightly
larger than the shank of the rivet (Ref. Figure 3). Care
must be exercised when drilling to prevent the drill from
being forced through the plastic body components where
it could damage components located immediately behind
the rivet. The best way to prevent this from occurring is to
use a sharp drill bit that requires very little pressure to cut
successfully and to place a piece of protective sheet
metal between the surface being drilled and components
directly behind it.

BODY COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The body components can be replaced by removing the
securing hardware, replacing the component and secur-
ing with hardware in the same orientation as removed.
The illustrations on the following pages indicate the
assembly methods for the various components.

NOTICE: The instrument panel may be removed
without removing the cowl or may be removed as
part of the cowl.
When installing a replacement instrument panel, a new
console safety label (4) MUST be ordered and placed on
the new instrument panel. When ordering a replacement
instrument panel, provide vehicle serial number to the
Service Parts Representative who will provide the correct
part number for the safety label.
To prevent the possibility of injury due
to lack of vehicle information, the cor-
rect safety label must be on the instru-
ment panel at all times.
1.
Using an insulated wrench, disconnect the battery
cable at the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. Pull the front of the floor mat (5) up to expose the riv-
ets (6) that secure the instrument panel to the floor.
3. Drill out the rivets attaching the bottom of the instru-
ment panel to the floor and across the top of the
instrument panel attaching it to the cowl (7).
4. Remove the four screws (8) located within the instru-
ment panel pockets .
5. The instrument panel may now be pulled away from
the cowl.
6. Remove the drive rivets (9) securing the ignition
switch plate (10) to the instrument panel.
7. Rotate the ignition switch plate and push it through
the instrument panel opening, freeing the panel for
removal.
8. Reassembly is the reverse order of disassembly and
will require new rivets.
