Subject:Dashboard surgery... 85 Vanagon

Since i have to drain coolant again to replace some leaking or near leaking
parts, I'm thinking about pulling the dashboard and replacing my squealing
fresh air fan (sqealing for two years, but will not die) and putting a new
heater core in.

I had read in here some years ago, that the steering column had to be moved
or dislodged to get the dash out.  Anyone know if this is true?  I've
removed and replaced a few dashboards before, the Vanagon looks like it
should be a piece of cake, compared to replacing a heater core in an air
conditioned Jetta.

Any advice would be appreciated.  I'm ordering parts from Camelback VW
tomorrow--they're good guys.
