Well, it could be worse :P 
I had to laugh when the auto shop class removed the wheel/fender liner etc,
and were still not successful at replacing a colleague's New Beetle
headlight bulb. I told the teacher you need a 19mm flat wrench, when he
asked why, I told him it's either to release the headlamp housing or beat
the shit out of it, depends on how the mood strikes. Seriously, I pulled
the dash out of my 88 Jetta recently, if you mess up anything, I likely
have a replacement part, so GL eh? 
Seriously, I'll ask the kid if there are any short cuts, I don't recall
anything unusual, but I had the steering wheel out and was aiming for the
heater core, so I don't recall what all I undid to get the cluster out.
Just look for hidden Phillips screws, and you should be good.
