well its not too bad, strip out under dash coverings, remove instrument cluster, remove all wires from back of dashbaord, disconnect all wires from switches etc. then there are about 4 or 5 small brackets that brace the dashboard to crossmember behind the dash, then there is one 8mm nut at each end of the dash underneath, they are hard to spot. then there are 2 clips on the back of the dash where it meets the screen, you need to just pull the dashboard up and they unclip. then a bit of riggling and its out. i would say starting from scratch withan interior in the car about 2 to 3 hours. i did mine in 3/4 of an hour but all then under side of the dash and the interior and windscreen were out so it was simple. p.s you dont need to reomve the interior and screen.
