Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
NOTE:
Before reinstalling the dashboard, screw the special bolt (A) into the collar bolt (B), and check that they turn together. If they do not turn together, replace the special bolts.
Before reinstalling the dashboard, be sure the collar bolts can be screwed/unscrewed lightly by hand, and then screw them into the fixed space adjusters (C) fully by hand. Do not tighten them with any tools.
Make sure the dashboard fits onto the guide pins correctly.
Before tightening the bolts, make sure the wire harnesses are not pinched.
Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly.
After setting the dashboard in the body, reinstall all of the mounting bolts but do not tighten them. First tighten the driver's side mounting bolts to the specified torque, then tighten the remaining special bolts. As you tighten the bolts, the collar bolts screw out of the space adjuster until they contact the body. Continue tightening the special bolts to the specified torque.
When installing the steering column, tighten the nuts and bolts to the specified torque in the numbered sequence shown.
