I almost expected them to conclude with "Remove interior of vehicle. To install, reverse procedure." If you are referencing Haynes 1686 manual (I understand that there is now a newer edition), you only need to perform step 27.9 (glove box removal if there is no passenger airbag) and step 27.30 (fuse panel/relay box removal) If you model is equipped with the passenger airbag, I understand that the fuse/relay panel is underneath and is accessible with the removal of a trim panel. Removal procedures remain the same as with the non-airbag models. With glovebox models, pay careful attention during disassembly. The glovebox hinge screws need loosening to gain access to the mounting screws. Getting it properly adjusted on assembly can get a bit fiddley. Good luck. Walt Kienzle 1991 9000T
