To do it properly, the dash needs to come out and then undo the heaterbox, the matrix will then slide out.

I have seen people just undo the bits and force it out, but tbh the whole job can be done on a non A/C vehicle in under 3 hours if you pull your finger out.

The hardest part of it is undoing the couplings on the heater hoses.
