could possibly do it with bottom half removed, my dash was already out tho when i took mine out the 3 door.

obviously the 2 hoses from the bulkhead need taking off, then its 2 or 3 nuts that need removing. i cant remember tho.

so pretty usless me posting really

I did mine a while back, was dreading the job, but wasnt too bad.
only needed to drop the lower dash. The fiddly bit was getting the matrix past the clutch pedal... Good luck!
