Yikes! According to the Bentley, one has to remove the wooden and metal fascias to replace the passenger side crash pad. I'm happy to report this isn't so. I removed the 5 dash wood screws, loosened the right side metal fascia bolt, (by the windscreen hold down), loosened the dash-top bolts, loosened the vinyl center plinth, and removed the 3 bolts holding in crash pad. There is also a metal tang on the upper corner of the crash pad that has to be bent straight out.
Thankfully, not too difficult to then remove the crash pad. Having the glove box cubby, and center support already out made this job easier.
I had a nasty, sun eaten crash pad that I was able to replace w/ a decent eBay original in about 30 minutes. Oh, happy day! BTW, the repro lower dash parts don't match the originals, To my eye, they're not s glossy, and w/ a more raised grain. I was happy to find the eBay original part to better match the rest of the instrument panel.
