Hi m g,
My only suggestion is to take the driver's side seat out.
This allows you to lay on your back an SEE what you're doing up there.
If you're not too large a person you may be able to get one hand up there to do the work!
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

You might also consider renting an 8-10 year old child. They don't take instructions well, but they do have small hands and good eyes.

You can try removing the 2 bolts holding the column up,allowing it to drop,then removing the screws from each side of the dash,I think the dash cluster will swing towards the rear of the car a small amount so you can get up there.
