Default Passenger side airbag removal

Anyone take this out without taking out the full dash pad?? I am hoping it can just be done by removing the glove box.

Please help!

I took out the passenger airbag and put in a piece of thin plastic to cover up the hole. At this point, the dash pad is still intact. Later, I ripped out everything.

I read your other post, and I see you were looking for another answer. Oh well. I can't remember if I took out the whole dash cover first.
