easy job mate
blowers/air vents - scroll them downwards, then get small flat blade screwdriver and force them down more, little click and will spin a little more, then u will see 2 screws - 1 each side

u need to take off the dials too, small screwdriver under the opposite end to white strip, push under and pull dial/button/knob out

when the whole unit is losse it will slowly pull away, u will see that the front section is clipped into the rear section, small screwdriver to prise apart the clips
