And you will swear, and brake something and screws will disappear never to be seen again but you know they are there as you can hear them.

its just fiddly as fcuk gettin them with a hacksaw...

wouldn't bother with a puller unless its a good one! mind I got a draper & that did a shit job, just ripped bits of rubber off & wouldnt grip the wheel at all

gettin dash out is easy though, not that hard at all!

4 bolts on bulkhead (you need to remove wiper mechanism)
4mm torx bits i think it is, 2 either side next to doors, then posi-bits for rest.

remove glovebox, ashtray, mfd, centre console & dials. unclip all wiring & then when everything is undone a good sharp pull & the dash will be out!

getting heatermatrix out, if your stripping the dash anyway, may aswell just take the entire blower unit! theres 2 bolts under the pollen filter in the bulkhead, then its just a bit awkward to pull out cos of the pipes going from the matrix into the bay, but should all come out complete!
