Thanks for the praise.
It is possible to remove the cluster lid without lowering the steering column, but most of the time the lid will get stuck on the steering column tilt adjuster. I have seen many people scratch or even crack their lid like that.
So as I mentioned in the writeup, you can skip lowering the steering column, but it is not the optimal way. I find that it takes more effort the maneouvre the lid and cluster out from underneath the steering column, than it does to just lower the column.
