THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Looking for tips / advice.

Well I finally got all the spray-on bedliner off, also removed all the body parts from the sides on up off. The passenger area is free of any items that could be removed, that was the easy part, everything zip-baged and labled. Now comes the hard part, the drivers side. I want to remove everything from the interior: brake/clutch assy, steering assy, all shift levers, dash w/guages, all wiring and hydraulic lines, and all electrical parts below dash. I will diagram and label everything. Trying to keep this as organized as possible.

Any tips on how to get the major components out, tips and tricks, minimizing any potential damages.

Well,as no others have replied and it really sucks when you don't even get a response like "righty-tighty,lefty-loosey" ,here is my only thoughts with the instrument panel. Take notes! The Steyer people take the 2-wire for everything seriously,I draw a lot of diagrams. The only other thing is keep track of those idiot light lenses / sockets / wiring....on my first Pinz this gave me a real headache ,refer to above diagram thought. Have fun,send pictures! TTFN,Mark

Mark... Thanks for the reply, the wiring shouldn't be a problem I've done this before with other vehicals and have hand made entire wiring harnesses for a Volvo 240, VW Vanagon. I will document as much as possible, haven't taken any pictures so far because it has been pretty simple stuff, just a lot of sweat and a little blood.

Also before I forget some tips for everyone.

1. When I took off the Knee Guard around the steering wheel I noticed that there was a adjustment for the steering column near the top of the column. I'm guessing this is a adjustment to allow the steering to go forward and back. I haven't tried this yet but it looks straight forward enough, the adjustment is ony a 1 3/4" but that should translate to 2"+ at the steering wheel.

2. I removed the inspection plates for the rear Differentials and found the top surface coated in dried mud. This wouldn't be so bad but the waffle pattern on top is about a 1/2" deep and should aid in cooling of the Diff's. Of course that doesn't work so well when they are full of dirt. There was so much dirt I swore that some of it was Swiss but I didn't see any holes in it. Seriously check em out it may reduce the temps by a few degrees cleaning them out.
