Make your own hook by taking a coat hanger, bending one end at a 135 degree angle - cut it so it is about 3/8-1/2" long, leaving a sharp edge. The rest of it should be about 6 inches long, with a comfortable loop for your hand. Insert it at about 1 inch below the top on the left side, then rotate it so the hook is toward the instrument, then gently pull until the instrument panel just starts to come out, then remove the hook and do the same thing on the other side. To replace, just gently push it back in. Follow the other members good advice about being gentle and labeling everything.
