Can anyone give me advice or instructions about removing a couple of the dash panels. Specifically, the panel below and to the left of the steering column (left hand drive). Not the one directly below the steering column, but the one to the left of that. Does it just pull out? Unscrew? And also, the panel that is under the dash, above the foot kickspace and kind of over the brake pedal area. This one feels like it is felt-covered cardboard or something like that. This second panel seems to have the courtesy light attached to it. I didn't find any instructions for removing these in the JTIS, at least so far. Thanks.

 

The felt one you basically wiggle out if I recall.

 

It's not even cardboard, it's just felt.

There are 2 or 3 screws holding it (fixed vertically) where it joins the dash.

I don't know about the other one. I assume you mean the one with a

pocket?

 

"I assume you mean the one with a pocket?"
Yes, that's the one. I am assuming that removing that panel would give a much clearer view of the brake bracket assembly. Or is something else in the way?

 

The screws holding the the felt cover are just plastic clips with a central pin which

you pull out (if I remember correctly).

If you use a small mirror and torch you will see them easily.

Once you have removed the cover lie on your back with

a torch and your head near the brake pedal (not easy for baby boomers) and look

upwards.

I think I need to have a detachable head! Or a very small drone. Otherwise, I'm not sure where my body has to go, to put my head near the brake pedal. Maybe remove the front seat?

 

Ok there is a panel with four screws just below the steering wheel and is above

the brake pedal which may allow you to see the brake bracket.
