I used the following as a guide along with Wes' help:
Here are Heath's tips:

Remove the part on top of the ignition switch (you'll know it when you see it) held in place by one screw to prevent ripping the cluster surround near the ignition switch.
Good luck!

Yeah, but first you have to remove that little white plastic thingy sitting on top of the ignition which has a small metal arm sticking up. I think it contains a solenoid. You can't clear that without bending the plastic so much as to break it and you'll still cut up the cluster's dash surround's vinyl on the arm. That's unless you drop the steering column in which case, I'm still not sure you can clear it easily. Jesda, I honestly can't see this being done in 30 mins much less 20 mins. You have to basically pull up everything for that damn clock and I've done it a few times.
