I'm not saying you will find it the most enjoyable experience of your life, but you should be fine.

In preparation....I bought a couple of small screwdivers that are about 2.5" to 3" in overall length with thicker handles than the thin precision jewlers ones I have. Hopefully they will give me a better grip.

I'm not too keen on removing the left side vent since it seems everyone has a lot of trouble re-connecting the plastic vent tubes together. That is unless I hit a "brick wall" in working from under the dash.

BUT....IF I DID go the route of removing the left side vent does that allow me easy access to both of the set screws, or just one of them?? If just one, then I'd have to go under the dash anyway to get the other one loosened.

Also....does the switch have to be rotated or postioned a specific way?...there are two tabs and two sets screws...does it matter which tab is with each set screw or it doesn't matter as long as it's seated properly? (in other words is there a specific orientation required?

Thanks.
