Talking instrument cluster removal on 98 V70XC

I am needing to change some bulbs in my 98 V70XC's instrument cluster. I have removed clusters from our 850's before, so am pretty familiar with those, but this one, I am sure, is a different procedure.

Does anyone know the procedure to remove the cluster (or at least be able to access the back where the bulbs are) on this model?

As always...thanks for the help!!

It is pretty much the same as the 850. There is just a few different screws.

OK--good! On the 850's, you could get by with just unloosening the driver's side and about mid-way across the dash and almost "twisting" it up enough without doing anything on the pass. side. Would that still hold true on this one, or do I need to unhook the pass. side airbag, etc?

That should work but let it be known that you can break the dash part where the top locks on in the front.

But yes it should work.
