Default Underdash pad removal

Hi all I have a 1990 convertible and the clutch pedal went half way down and locked solid so drove home in Forth and got it jacked up and slave out still the pedal does the same stuff which is good news as it is not the clutch fork. Now I am changing the clutch slave and master cylinder which is easy but being blind in one eye and two back operations I need a detailed description of the under dash cover removal as I’m going by feel and can’t get in there upside down like the old days lol I can’t afford to have it fixed and like working on it Any help would be great , thanks

Someone on these forums had a great idea for getting under the dash. First remove the drivers seat (a pain but worth it) then put a piece of 3/4 ply big enough for you to lay on into the drivers side and then support the back end with either blocks or jack stands.
