Having just dropped Macy's dash in about 30 minutes,
Here is the attack  plan.
That nut behind the speedo, reach it from the right hand side. Do not 
try to get at it from the speedo hole or the left side, too hard to reach.
7/16 deep socket, 1/4 drive ratchet fits nicely, and reach in from where 
the radio console was, it's a piece of cake.
