haha...with or without damaging everything. if damage is no concern, I suggest the Saw-Zall.
Re: How hard is it to take my dash out? (Vdubs)
very easy, first make sure you have all switches/ accessories disconected. next, remove your steering wheel and wiper/signal levers (not necessary, but makes it ALOT easier). now remove your gauge cluster and becarefull not to damage it. Now remove your knee pad or lower tray(whatever you have), and remove your console. then there should be several screws that hold the dash in from the bottom, and two 10mm bolts that hold it in from the back which are located under the raintray in your engine compartment. it sounds like a mofo, but its really quite simple, just time consuming.....did i miss anything? http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Yeah, I got dash pulls down to about 20min. VERY easy job. Like dubs is sayin', if you can't change a wheel then don't swap a dash...otherwise you're fine. Just keep pullin' screws and switches and you'll get there eventually anyways
