I wouldn't say you have to take them out, but you have to undo the clocks and tilt them forwards. The amount of time/effort/frustration you'd put into trying to change it with the clocks still in wouldn't be worth it.

After doing it once, I could have the clocks out and back in in about half an hour now. And I'm quite slow :)

Have to take clocks out and there will be a bulb behind mfa. Clocks are quite easy to get out as long as you can get your hand in the left hand side to remove speedo cable and vac hose once its all loose and pulled forwards.
