with gloves on, unless you like plastic cuts (which sting like mad)

oh and dont lose the clips off the control cables (where they mount to the heater box)  :lipsrsealed:

The guide linked above is way more comprehensive than mine in terms of pictures, however, have a flick through here for some wise words of wisdom.

Oh and WEAR GLOVES! But the control cables don't get removed at any stage - so don't go messing with them.

dont bother splitting the middle box from the blower, that way lies madness and knashing of teeth.  simply remove 1 extra nut on the bulkhead and a plastic nut up next to the blower housing under the dash, then the entire airbox will come off the firewall.  Also dont disconnect any control cables, remove the heater surround & knobs then unscrew the heater slider control box from the dash, pull that out along with the heaterbox.
