2000 Silverado Dashboard Removal

[DaveyBoyo]

Hey guys, searched for this before I made the thread so if there's already somethin' out here about this dont rip my head off lol:P

I'm trying to take the dash trim pieces out of my truck so that I can re-paint them..however I can't get the main dash cover off (the big wrap around piece on top of the gauge cluster, CD deck and air bag that goes from one side of the truck to the other)

I think that I've taken all the screws out of it but it still seems pretty securely attached. Is there a step-by-step manual somewhere of how to do this or can you guys point me in the right direction? I'd take a pic. but I forgot my camera at work. If I can't find anything helpful over the weekend I'll grab my camera at work on monday and take a picture of the interior so that you guys have a better idea of what i'm talking about.

Anyways, anybody got some ideas for me? I need to know what all to take out/unscrew in order to get the big dash piece off.

Thanks,
Dave
