Pedal Box, Steering Column, Random prep

Working under the dash is quite a bit more painful now with the carpeting and seating out - there are some 2 inch studs sticking out where the seats attached that can really do a number on your back while you are working under there. Just the same, victory was attained against the pedals yesterday (once we abandoned trying to interpret the archaic factory five manual in favor of just figuring it out ourselves).

We also pulled the steering column out and removed the gauge cluster. After that we started the next step of removing the computer, but it can't be gotten to until we remove the A/C ducts and fan motor - so we started pulling off the dash to get to all that stuff. While Brandon removed dash bits, I worked on disconnecting the A/C lines in the engine bay. Those little spring lock connectors are a REAL pain when you don't have much room to work.

So a lot was done yesterday, but out of all those steps, I still need to pull the computer and still need to get the steering wheel off the steering column. It seems like it's pressed on there and I'm having some real trouble getting it off.

Lots of stuff getting done! I'll upload some pictures tonight.
