Re: 93 YJ complete dash removal???
It is a tight squeeze, so I'll pass along a trick I learned on this
newsgroup a few years ago. Buy some wingnuts to replace the hex nuts.
It'll be a lot easier than trying to get a tiny wrench back in there when
you put in the new speaker.

I kept this from a previous post - helped me a lot.

Check this out. It is a link to a YJ FAQ about removing speakers.

I just installed new 4x6 coaxial speakers in the dash of my 92 YJ this
weekend. I can tell you from experience REMOVE THE ENTIRE DASH. It's
faster. It's easier. It's LESS LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE SPEAKER CONES.
It's easier than removing the seats and squirming around on your back
for hours on end.
You'll need:
2 4x6 speakers*
8 #8 flat washers
8 #8-32 wing nuts (You'll need these because the dash won't pull out
very far)
....and some Loctite.
*Be careful here: There are two mounting hole patterns available. My
JBL's have 5 patterns and I think that I used the 117.5x92mm.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Make sure that your new speakers mount flush to the
face of the speaker basket. (Lay the speaker face-down: If the tweeter
holds the speaker off the surface, you'll need to fabricate some
gaskets using upholstery foam.)
1. Remove the Torx fasteners from each side of your dash panel (6 T40
and 2 T45 bolts).
2. Remove the lateral braces from the roll cage (2 T50 and 4 T40
bolts).
3. Lower the windshield.
4. Remove the 5 bolts holding the dash panel to the car.
5. Viola!
Let me know how it goes (or if you need help).

Consider this too: Fold down the windshield and remove the 4 bolts on
either side and the 10 black screws on top. Remove the speedo cable
from the speedo end next. The dash will pull back real easy now. It
took me about 1.5 hours to remove, make spacers, install speakers and
re-assembly.
