I've done it twice, and that's enough. The first time I followed the MB repair manual - pretty much what Tom said, but I also removed the entire dash, if memory proves correct. The second time, (different car - no rust), I pulled it out through the center speaker hole. It took half the time, but some surgery to make the hole larger. The speaker grill then didn't clip in - I used 3M trim adhesive to keep it in place. This was many years and cars ago - I'm afraid the exact steps have long since been purged from memory, and it pre-dates digital photography.
