dash removal nissan Largo?

Hi please help
I am wanting to replace the dial cards on my dash
nissan largo highway star 1999 chassis no w30-213791
I have all of the srews out but cant get the dash board passed the steering wheel I think there is away by taking out the plastic pane it would be good to bw advised on that , but the reason I want to get to the back of the dash is to put differnt bulbs in and check the rev counter connector
thanks Drew
