Remove the entire dash, then take out the Heater/AC box..... LOTS of youtube videos.....
Buy a box of small baggies to store the nuts bolts and screws in.. Mark the baggies for contents and reassembly.....

It seems a bit overwhelming but slow and steady gets it done...

Here's a couple of other vids. May be worth watching.... everybody kinda has their own little details they hit on (or that they don't bother mentioning!). Plus they do more explaining, vs Foxcast's "look-how-fast-we-can-do-this, not-worried-about-scratching-anything" approach.

The LMR vid has them removing the dash almost completely. I like the CJ Pony vid.... they just kinda tilt the dash down. And it mentions how the heater box screw closest to the firewall (the most pita one) doesn't have to be taken out.... just loosened halfway. That makes reassembly easier with that particular fastener.
