Default 06 XLT dash removal

Anyone have experience in taking the dash out? I f*cked up and only way I see to fix it is to gain access by removing the dash and most components on the passenger side. Things are packed pretty tight in that area! (trying to get acces to the wire harness coming in from the engine bay and my arms aren't stretchy at all.) Lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know how to delete thread if it's possible, but I figured out my issue.

I did this a few years ago, there is a procedure in the Haynes manual that you can follow. I'd recommend getting that book and following.

It involves removing the steering wheel, airbag, center console(if equiped), and then taking off a ton of bolts. The dash then comes out as one piece. It's not hard just time consuming.

go inside and basically disconnected the harness from the fuse box was able to give me enough slack to pull a bit more out from the engine side. From there soldered them bitches back....heat shrink and taped up... Worked for well over a year... Just traded it in the other week with no issues since.
