To give yourself more room, lower the SAM unit, move the brake light switch and shift the wiper bucket out of the way. Remove the 3 fixings holding the fan housing in position. They are 8mm hex.

On the RHD model, there is a brace from the bulkhead to the steering column support. Disconnect this brace by removing the nut from 1 end and the bolt from the other.

Don’t forget to replace the brace, seal the wiper bucket and refit the brake light switch.
