Blend Door Repair

[Seadweller]

I know there are several methods to accomplish this. The easiest I've seen, at least on videos, is removing the radio/AC panel, cutting the center duct, and covering the blend doors with HVAC aluminum tape. The other method of going through the box from the frunk looks sketchy to me, especially when you have to Dremel out the plastic that holds the door hinge pins. Removing the entire dash is out of the question.

I'm sure folks have done the two versions that don't require dash removal, so is the method through the radio/AC panel the most straightforward?

Thanks!
