Have done same on older vehicles, and a more recent VW at the time I anticipated doing the job. For more info, I got the factory manual. Of which just facilitated making it more complicated than it actually was. It took me 6 days. First day and a half was disassembly. The factory manual took it down this far, I did leave the instrument cluster in place as found removal unneeded despite the manual. Saw other shortcuts after doing the job. Didn't spend more than a few hours a day to cut the frustration factor, have secondary transportation.
