Pull the dash. LMR has a nice set of videos that show you how to do it. I used them when I replaced mine. It's not too hard, it just takes time. Give yourself at least a full afternoon.

Pull the dash. It's not that hard. Just take pics, and as your remove bolts in groups, put them in zip locks and label.

Center console, unfortunately, needs to come out first.

Hi everybody, I am a brand new member, and have bought my first Mustang, a 1985 SVO 4 cylinder. I am glad I stumbled across this site. I only have a few questions, so I will not take up much space. Thanks for having me.

I just did mine in a 90 lx took about 5 hours I watched a YouTube video to get a idea on how to do it not hard at all some say pull the passenger seat but you don't need to and I bought a core for 20 bucks so good luck and have fun
