Hi, trying to replace dash, no.26(see below), do I need to remove the rear part, no.14? i've loosened the three allen screws but it don't want to come off! thanks

Get under it with something that won't leave a mark, and give it a little gentle "persuasion".

 

Should come right off.

thanks, did'nt want to bust it!

no luck! the bolts just turn and turn, took the back off and they screw into a brass insert and that just turns!!!!!!!!! I've tried stopping it turning but nothing seems to work-help

ok done now! 10 min job turns into 3hours+!eventually took the back off- used needle nose pliars to hold the insert then patched up with 'magic putty',my advice DO NOT try to replace this piece! mask off and repray inplace!its got to be easier!!!!!!!

Duly noted. I've a bit of paint to touch up myself around the clocks.
