Depends why?
If its a complete gut job, to get another different one in, then just butcher it up! Or as you go along pull out what you might still need so you remember what goes where and does what with some masking tape and a index reference?

Fair shout tis probably a gut job depending on what engine I can get my hands on. Don't wanna butcher it cos ill sell it on with my 8v

Then painfully cut off al cable ties and route it out carefully through the firewall or dash board.
I think it would be best to take the whole dash out just to get to the firewall looms, you will have to take it out anyways just to get the new one in plus small fires have started from jobs like this by the way  :wink:

You should never need to cut a loom, they fit it complete and it comes out complete - Patience, some WD40 & 2 sets of hands helps.....
