Yes, remove the underdash, but it's different than he said:
Next, remove the steering wheel (mark the center position with a line connecting the spindle and the stud or you'll be sorry later ) then drop the column all the way to the ground (4 bolts). Then you have to remove the buttons from the surrounding plastic thing around the steering tunnel and remove the plastic thing. Two screws are up above the speedo, another couple are around it.
It takes about 1.5 hours if you are new to it.
