It should come out forwards - you can either use a couple of thin, flat-bladed screwdrivers to work it forward or you can take out the ACC unit, radio, ashtray or anything else that will give you a convenient hole, get a hand round the back and push it.
Be careful not to lose or short any electrical connections in the process, and keep track of the wires to the sensor itself, which are not all that long as I recall. Ari (uberposter) secures them with a piece of string. The front cover/grill then pulls off and you can ferret around inside.
First thing though, you could just shine a flashlight into the grille and see whether it looks as though the unit needs cleaning - and whether the little fan inside it is rotating freely. Dust can stop the fan or make it "twitch". Also, when you turn off the ignition the fan is supposed to keep turning for a few minutes, so the ACC setting isn't thrown out by short stops. This means that if you're not sure if the fan is turning, you can't expect to just turn off the ignition and see it stop instantly.
Finally, I've been wondering if a failed sensor might be more likely to give you too much cold rather than too much hot. Can't resolve that one - best check the thing anyway!
