Dash Pad removal?

I have found if I remove the one screw holding the fuse box to the dash I can carefully lift the fuse box out of its bracket and place againxt the bracket. This lets me reach the release button on the headlight switch knob so I can remove it and that switch bezel nut. Leave the switch in the dash rather than fight its harness connector. Then there is more space to get a hand on the speedo cable.
