first thing to do is to remove the bezel. The whole plastic piece that surrounds the stereo, heater controls, instrument panel, etc has to come off. It just pops off. The hardest part is getting it out from behind the steering wheel. I think it helps if you put the wheel down as far as it will go (tilt lever). You also have to deal with that little cubby hole to the left of the steering wheel. It comes out with the bezel...it's somewhat difficult but it can be done. Once that piece is off, it's pretty self-explanatory...remove the retaining bolts and it should pull right out. good luck!
