How do you access the screws that hold the “assy meter” aka instrument panel, in place on an M5660? Has to be something in addition to or other than removing the screw shown in the picture. My “meter assembly” is crooked and I would like to make it fit correctly in the dash.

There are 2 other screws at the bottom of it under the dash cover.

Looking at the parts illustration it seems there are fasteners 040
under the outer trim which secure the panel board.
I would be inclined to gently pry up on the trim to see if it will pop free.

Thank you Sir. I was hoping that the black panel could be removed without having to remove the whole rear bonnet but I couldn’t get it started anywhere.

Thank you Sir. I did see fasteners 020 and 050 securing the black and orange rear bonnet assembly but I was hoping that the black panel could be removed without having to remove the whole assembly.
