How to disassemble the dashboard of Lada Vesta

The instrument panel on Vesta has a modern design. The main readings are located in three large wells and are illuminated using SMD diodes. If necessary, this backlight can be replaced, but to do this you will have to first disassemble the Vesta instrument cluster.

We looked at how to remove the dashboard earlier. After this, you will no longer need tools, because... Absolutely everything is held on by latches and clamps. There is not a single fastening screw. To remove the glass you will have to unclip several fasteners around the perimeter of the instrument panel:

Next, we dismantle the mask (covering in the form of wells), freeing the latches from engagement:

Probably the most difficult thing in the whole process is to remove the arrows of the instrument cluster. They should be unscrewed counterclockwise, and with good force, towards yourself. Very carefully, you can easily break the gear stop!

Now you can remove the back cover. We unclip the latches shown in the photo. If necessary, you can remove the covers from the arrow control mechanisms:

Now you can remove the circuit board, which is held by clips, from the device body:

Remove the instrument panel trim by picking it up from one of the edges:

We dismantle the standard on-board computer after disconnecting its connector:

SMD LEDs are used to illuminate the speedometer scales, tachometer, arrows, BC and other indications. Some of them are shown in the photo:

The instrument panel is assembled in the reverse order. At the end, we check the work using an autotest. It is also recommended to glue the wells so that there are no squeaks in the future.

This disgrace opens up to us, we unscrew the four bolts shown in the photo below with a 10mm wrench. We remove the instrument cluster, it is held on by three self-tapping screws. You get this view in the bottom photo, where there should be a hole, we also unscrew the bolt on it.

Next, remove the lower dashboard trim, which is located at the driver’s feet, and only then the plastic steering column trims. We unscrew screws 1 and 3 in the photo below; screw 3 is not included in the frame and bolt 2 is not included.

Next, we unscrew the right bolt in the 10th photo below, you can see it by looking under the steering column and looking to the right. It is imperative to disconnect the connector, otherwise the cover will not be removed.

After disconnecting the connector, pull the cover towards you; it is attached to the top using the same clips as the stove cover.

After removing the trim, it will be held on the hood opening handle, which is held on by two screws that can be unscrewed and the trim removed.

Next, from the bottom of the plastic steering column lining, unscrew the three screws and lower the steering wheel down and remove the lining. It is also necessary to remove the steering column switches; to do this, you need to disconnect the connectors from them and, squeezing the plastic latches, remove the switches from their seats.

We unscrew the three bolts securing the ECU unit and lower it onto the mat. To remove the heater control unit cover, insert your fingers into the holes of the temperature regulator and damper control and pull the cover towards you, overcoming the resistance of the plastic holders.

How to disassemble or repair vinyl siding?

Replacing siding yourself (with your own hands) can save you not only a lot of money, but also nerves from incorrect or illiterate work of the installers. Basically, in this article we will consider issues specifically related to the repair of already installed siding, related to the transfer or replacement of windows, doors, and the color of the material itself. There is nothing easier than reconstructing already installed siding, and we will talk about this below.

And so, in order for us to sort out or replace the already installed siding, we will need a couple of specific tools. Firstly, this is the so-called siding zip (siding unpacker), which you can try to find in finished form, which is unlikely. It’s easier to make it yourself from a handy piece of platinum metal 3-5mm thick. We will consider the tool and its application below in pictures. We will analyze not only how to disassemble a finished wall using a tool without extra effort, but also how to break the assembled layer. Working with vinyl siding does not require any special skills, the main thing is to understand the construction system.

So, we take several plans above the window or door and begin to dismantle them. Please note that the nail puller must be used with a wide claw in order to prevent the insulation from breaking through and the windproof membrane, which is supposed to be under each covering of this type if it was installed correctly. We take the ZIP tool and begin to unfasten one of the previously installed strips from below. After dismantling, do not forget to mark the line of its location on the membrane, this will be useful for the accuracy of reassembly after reassembly.

The beauty of vinyl is that you can dismantle part of it anywhere on the wall or foundation without much effort. One person can handle the work independently without the help of others. As shown in the picture, hook the edge of the siding with a ZIP tool by sliding it into the fastening seam and pushing up to hook it. Then lightly pull down, smoothly opening the lock. If the siding is recently installed, it will be soft and flexible. Older options lose their elasticity over time and may become brittle. In the latter case, be careful with shrunken vinyls. After partially opening the vinyl lock, it can be finally opened using your fingers longitudinally, snapping out the remaining part of the lock. The system is unfastened, you can begin dismantling the siding strips. Remove mounting nails from the bottom strip. As stated earlier, the nail puller must have a wide jaw!

Ready! Next, you can remove the required number of strips of material for further replacement or installation under new window and door openings. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order, taking into account the verification of the fastening lines that we noted at the time of dismantling.
