Default Heater matrix

Do you have to take the dash off to fit a new heater matrix or is they an easier way?

can be done without removing dash, still a pain in the arse though, i had the centre console out already, you need to remove the heater control panel & the pipes leading to this, remove the centre bracket etc, remove the 2 main heater box nuts & pull the heater box back enough to slide the matrix out.
to be fair its just as easy to remove the dash & not struggle!
