Trying to remove 6n2 dash
Hi guys. I'm trying to get the dash out my 6n2 but it just won't budge I have undone the 4 bolts under the scuttle panel the t20s at the sides of the dash and have removed all the dash trim from underneath. Is there something I can't see?

Trying to remove 6n2 dash
Ok so I haven't had much time recently but both tonight and last night I have attacked my dash, there is nothing holding it on but it seems to be holding on/pivoting on something at the top.....do I just have to man up and pull it really hard? I'm worried I'm going to break something!
