I'm in the process of replacing the brake lines to the rear of the car. I have the right side interior apart but I need the to do something with the dash/blower motor to axcess the firewall. This will allow removal of the old line and insertion of the new line. What is the best way to approach pulling the dash? Full removal or just loosening and lifting.

Basically the whole dash needs to be removed to access the firewall but you are just trying to get to the brake line, so you should just be able to remove much of the plastic parts on the front and then gain enough access, maybe remove a metal brace here or there. For some extra room, I would first unbolt the front seats and remove them. Most plastic parts will be held on with clips, all of the bolts should be metric and you want to keep everything in order as you take it out (including the bolts). At the bottom, there will be bolts on the initial plastic panels, unbolt them and then the top part should just start pulling out. If you are having trouble pulling a part out at any time, track down to where it won't budge and you probably will find a bolt. Tearing out the dash will be a lot of work, so good luck and if you get stuck, take a few pictures of the problem area and post them here and I will advise on what to do.

You will be better off removing the whole dash for easier access.Make sure you changed the interior bulbs at one go thus saving future removals..
