Removing the dash on the classic Ford Bronco can be tricky and it's a big task if you don't know what you are doing. Hopefully watching me remove the dash and steering wheel on my 1975 Ford Bronco will help you know what to do. I know I wish I had this video when I was removing mine.
I'm doing this because I'm replacing my wiring harness with the Painless Wiring harness for an Early Bronco. I know some people say you can keep the dash in place and still install the wiring harness. But now having removed the dash, I would say it's not that difficult and makes wiring way simpler and cleaner.
Step by step:
1. Start by removing everything in the dash, and unhook the heater control cable from the engine compartment.
2. Remove the bolts holding the windshield to the top and remove the wiper cover.
3. Disconnect the wiring for the wiper motor and wiper motor cover light on top of the windshield.
4. Remove the large bolts that go through the dash into the W/S frame.
5. Set the windshield down and remove the 7 dash screws.
6. Disconnect all the wiring you can from the back of the dash including ignition switch, headlight switch, hazards, etc.
7. Pull the wire harness out from the channel at the bottom of the dash.
8. Disconnect the heater control cables.
9. Remove the grounds.
10. Remove the horn.
11. Remove the 15/16 bolt.
12. Using a steering wheel puller, pull the steering wheel off.
13. Remove 4 screws holding in the turn signal switch
14. Remove the turn signal lever
15. Under the dash, disconnect the horseshoe connector.
16. Remove the shift indicator
17. Remove the two 7/16th bolts.
18. Remove the snap ring then the shift collar sleeve and shift tube can come out.
19. Then remove the four bolts under the dash.
20. Then remove the bolt in the center of the dash
21. Remove the four bolts holding in the speedometer.
22. Pull the dash out.
