take the glove box out, its bolted to the metal bar under the dash and to the dash. you need a set of security torx to get it out though. theyre the ones with a home int he middle of them

will you pm how much it weighs ? i have to do the same thing. disconnecting the battery for 15mins or more keeps it from exploding in your face right ? how lame would that be ?

it's like 10-15 lbs max. the battery had been off for a while, but i had to reconnect it to move the seats , but no injuries. better safe than sorry though

as far as blowing up in the face, wasnt really concerned since there was no battery in the car.
