I've done it. Take everything out of the instrument panel hole that you
can, you need to get at least one hand and a wrench down in the space
just behind the mount, on the inside. You'll spend a lot of time
hunched over the dash opening. Not fun, but not all that involved
either.

Pop the instrument covers, unscrew the fasteners at the corners of the
instrument panel base, snap out all the connectors and disconnect the
speedometer cable. Pull out all the ducting that's in your way. Now you
can probably see the mount if you push cables aside.
