Mine took about one hour to remove.  Getting the dash separated was the
hardest part.

The KEP documentation is reasonable.  It consists of 4 pages of written
instructions, a few diagrams and schematics, and a 6-foot blueprint with
notes.

This is clearly a big part of the installation tasks.  But I did it in less
than 25 hours in 4 to 6 hour stretches.
