So I think I'm going to try to tackle this project Saturday morning because the clicking noise for 5 seconds on start up is irritating me.
I've seen 2 methods: dash removal (pain in the rear) and the non dash removal (less of a pain the rear).

So I'll try to do it without removing dash first so any advice based on the video I'll post at bottom? Like best way to access those screws with such minimal workspace?

 

For those that are looking at this method above good luck cause I did this and decided it was just too tight in there to get this done so I put it back together. May just do dash removal at some point
