That would definitely require a lot work the whole dash would have to come out I believe before you can take the clock out.

It's held in place with a few spring clips. Just pry it up with a wide screw driver and a protective cloth.

Actually you have to remove the engine. You get at the clock through the firewall.

What was so funny is that it cannot be removed that way. After the engine has been removed, you left out the part when the firewall needs to be cut off in order to access and drain the clock-fluid resivour before it can be removed.

You forgot about the clock master and slave cylinders... not to mention all the lines and you all know the blinker fluid lines run right above them so they must be cut and then respliced upon reinstallation...
