Question Blower Replacement

Anyone know of a good online reference or video to walk me through replacing the blower on my 2013 SL550 R231? The best I've been able to do so far is locate a photograph of one blower installed with the under dash panels removed. But I can't even figure out how to remove the panel(s) and/or to acces the blower. I believe it would somehow involve removing the electrical outlet above the passenger side storage net. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
