get your head under the dash and look up thru the air vent in the open position..you will need a long..really long extension bar...if its an a/c car remove the plate..

as greg said, the only way is up through the vent on the inside of the car

Know how you feel Jim, I've been looking at replacing the same part on my HQ. If you find an easier way, be sure to share it.

There are 3 x bolts that hold it on and you need a 5/16 socket to get them. Two are easy to see but the third on is toward the front of the car and a bit harder to get to. I was lucky in that I removed mine with the dash out and no vents etc....but it was still a bugger of a job.

1/4 inch drive socket set with knuckle and small extension on the 5/16 helps a fair bit....

Been waiting for you to find an easier way but you didn't come through. Replaced mine today. What a p***k of a job trying to do it through the vent. Eventually took the vent off and it was straight forward.
Cheers
