It was not as bad as I was expecting, the worst bits are prying off the various bits such as the side defroster vents, and splitting the instrument cluster. Even though I'd seen a picture, I was expecting the gear itself to be a bit more grand (especially for $25), but it was about the same size as one of the screw heads. Time? All Saturday afternoon, but I had to run out for a smaller torx bit as the 3 central ones here are smaller than the T10 which was the smallest I had. http://webpages.charter.net/dwarner2/PanelBack.jpg I removed the entire dash pad, I can't imagine trying to bend it and work the cluster through the gap after taking it partially loose. Kind of cool to see those socks on the defroster ducts, too, anyone know why Volvo puts those on there? Thanks again Doug and everyone. -- bc
