i have one im restoring right now 68 and am doing dash now too.
the front top bottom has screws and around glove box plastic rivets.
the rivets have titties. press them in then pull out the rivets. (like modern cars)
once all the inside parts are removed.
vent knobs pull off, others come off CCW rotation, x3
the area behind the dash in the trunk there are metal tabs.
you my have to remove the speaker to see them all there.
there are many , do not miss any.
they are twisted 90 degr. un-twist them and the dash comes off.
the dash is fitted to the upper fire wall, in this manor.
once off , the dash looks 1967 ish. surprise some like this better.
I do.
see thesamba dot com for lots of photos and many upgrades to same.
asking here is tedious and has no photos.
the below is not even close there are many parts on the dash
and every one comes off ,not just the speedo
gee they built the car and you can un build it.
Really, the only dash part that comes off is the speedometer. Under the front deck lid, there is a panel behind where the dashboard is. Take that off and you'll see the back of the speedometer. There should be 3 or 4 bolts holding it in place. Unbolt them and pull the speedometer back towards you.

Will a dash pad for a 1968 to 1970 VW Beetle install over a 1966 Beetle dash without modification?
Yes it should fit without any deviation from the instructions that you would follow for installing it on a 1968. The issue you will have is the glovebox door will bind. When VW added a padded dash they made the door smaller to accommodate the extra material. The other thing you will have to do is add a newer set of plastic defroster vents as they also accommodate for the extra thickness.
