   Use a trim tool to release the bezel evenly and pull it forward. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the control panel before moving it away from the dash.

2. Remove the clock

   Unfasten the clock bracket screws from the rear of the bezel and lift the clock out. Keep the screws with the component for reassembly.

3. Remove the stability switch

   Remove the switch mounting screws and release the switch from the bezel. Avoid pulling on its wiring while moving it clear.

4. Transfer the HVAC controls

   Remove the HVAC control fasteners and lift the control unit from the old panel. Inspect the connectors and clips before transferring the module.

5. Install the controls in the new bezel

   Seat the HVAC control unit in the replacement panel and reinstall its screws. Fit the stability switch and clock, tightening each fastener snugly.

6. Reconnect and install the panel

   Reconnect the control connectors and align the bezel with the dash opening. Press it evenly into its clips, then set the clock and verify the controls work.
