Removing dash off a VR Ute Column shift auto.

[VTSSDUDE]

Hi,
I am having great difficulty removing the dash surround off a VR Ute, which is a Column Shift Auto. The Gear select indicator that sits on top of the steering column is getting in the way.
Just wondering if anyone here has had experience in getting past this problem.
Do I have to disassemble the whole steering column assembly just to get the dash out, or can I remove the gear selector indicator assembly by itself?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Jim
