McCormick X60.50 clutch pedal return spring access

I'm new here hopefully somebody can help me. I've got a McCormick x60.50 that broke 1 of the clutch pedal return springs. I'm wondering inside the left side console panel on do you remove the 2 screws on the outside housing and lift up the fuse panel to get into the spring (kinda looks like the only option)?
I know this is probably a silly question but I don't want to screw up the fuse plate or clutch sensor. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you need to remove the 4 screws that hold the dash pannel in then unplug that and remove it, unplug the lights switch and what ever else is on the L/H side of the dash surround then flip that over to the R/H side. Undo the 2 self tapping screws each side of the console. Undo the 4 nuts that hold the relay box in and pull that out abit to get access to the two 10mm head bolts behind that that hold the fuse box frame in then lift that out the way and your in [emoji23]
Sounds a bit more complicated than it actually is. Change both springs whilst your there and use a peice of string to pull them on. [emoji106]

Thank you for the information. The thing that gets me on this is (I'm used to Deere so this is a new deal for me) the left console comes off without any screws just press pins and there's only the 2 screws on the plate,would there be enough room to just pull the screws and tilt the fuse panel plate up (this one feels like it's hinged not bolted when you feel behind the panel)? I know probably a dumb idea.

No very unlikely, its just a formed plate so it will bend easy but you have to lift the springs vertically to hook them in so you need more room than you think to fit them but give it a try by all means.

Thank you again I appreciate your help it's hard to find much about this (isn't anything in the shop manual even). I guess this is why they have 2 springs looks like quite a project just to get in there.
