Default dash removal

is there any tricks or hidding screws on the dash anywhere. im pretty sure i remove all the srews and all the small dash peices and i can hardy move it. it will move pretty good on the outsides but in the middle is where it is real stuck and stiff. the only screw that is left is the one that comes in backwards the holds a little bracket and im not sure how im getting that one out. thanks

Please describe what vehicle you are working on, what the problem is and any other pertinant info that could lead any of us to reply with any info that might be usable to you.

Have you considered dropping the steering wheel? Or searching on here for how to's to remove the panel? That's what I did when I needed to know what to do to remove my dash to fix my blend door without cutting into the dash itself lol. I found some good ones, I'll find them again and link them if you'd like?

I found it. It was the 1 on the bottom holding the ash tray mount that you have to crawl around on the floor to see it. I was only doing this to strip the cab for some yohon that never came to get the cab but at least i know how to do it next time
