Disconnect the wires by reaching round behind, the cable came off by pushing the collar where it meets the clocks to one side. When you've done that just take the two bulbs off the top and take the front facia off the clocks by pushing the tabs in, then you can take the parts out seperately.
but its so much easier to take clocks out by removing steering wheel first.
taking the wheel off aint too much of a problem anyway, so may aswell do that.
