Couple of screws in the surround up under the top.

Prise surround out. Now there are two screws on the lower edge of the clocks. Undo, remove and pull clocks forwards. Undo wiring harness clips and work clocks out of aperture.

You don't want to miss that last screw do you

I always find it easy to drop the steering wheel to it's lowest adjustment too. I can do it in about 15 minutes, but it depends on how dexterous you are in getting to the plugs (x3) on the clocks.

Agreed Jon, plus DO check you haven't left the parking lights on once you have got the clocks out, and when they go back in. Failure to do so can lead to a new battery
