First, remove the three screws located at the three pivotal points on the edge of the dashboard, as well as the three screws on the lower part of the steering column. This will allow you to remove these two parts of the protective panels.

Now you can also unscrew the screws that secure the dashboard to your vehicle. Disconnect the plugs located on the back of the dashboard, which can be quite awkward as they are short.

You should now have the entire dashboard removed, allowing you to work directly on its rear side. Make the necessary replacements and retrace the steps in reverse for reassembly.
