You can do this job in a few hours, the key get all of the screws from the dash:
Take all the air vents off the front of the dash, the fuse cover area on the right hand side, the screws behind the air vents that actually hold the dash in place behind all the vents you removed and the screws behind the center vent near the windshield itself.
The dash should gentle pull evenly away from the resting place, if not, you're missing something.
