Instrument Cluster Bezel 69 Dart?

I am trying to remove my instrument bezel from my 68. did you get it out the front or did it have to come out the back. i'm thinking the complete dash as to come out first.

It will come out from the front, and will be much easier if you drop the steering column down. My car is a frame off, so all was disassembled including removing the dash frame. I'm just now re-assembling the dash out of the car, then I'll put the assembled dash frame back in.
