Under the dash is an access hole for the fuel cut out if you put your hand through and go up and towards the front of the car you will locate the pin use a 10mm ratchet spanner makes life easy.
The second is in front of you, through the same hole, curve your hand to the front of the dash (it is about 30mm to the left of where the dash top and bottom meet next to the dials).
The one on the driver side is a ‘pig’ lie on your back in the drivers foot well find the heater pipe go above that and you will find a little recess in there is the bolt again use a swivel head ratchet spanner. I hand to remove the window control box to gain more access.. Good luck
Like Tyre Tread I have done the same thing, over the years used so many different solvents no giving a dam about any health issues, until now and it is too late,
we all laugh about wearing ‘washing up gloves’ but it makes sense. Now if there are any oils or liquids out come the ‘marigolds’ well the thin ones garages use, but every ones different..

One of my electricians used to stick his finger into a battery cell and put the electrolyte on the end of his tongue to see if someone had spilt the battery and then refilled it with just water, we have all done daft things in the motor game.

No, I really am a wimp these days. In the past I have laid underneath a 30 year old Rover in the snow to fit an exhaust but now after lying on the floor of a (relatively)warm garage on a thermal mat to inspect undreneath the Tiv, my bones and muscles ache.Anyway, appologies for making an irresponsible light hearted comment, I didn't mean any harm by it ................................ lighten up you old ...........
I make old man noises when I get up and wear gloves, use safety goggles and put extra support under a car if I'm working under it.
It still didn't stop me hitting myself in the head with an angle grinder a couple of years ago though.
I look like Quasimodo now only with ruined hands.
As a tip get 3 M6 wing nuts to put back on instead of the nuts. It will make life easier the next time. Also when putting the washers back use some masking tape on them it will stop them falling off when trying to the nut/wing nut started.
You will need a plaster for the back of your hand as you cut it to pieces on the ends of the self tappers in the section above.
Once you have done it once it is an easy job to do it again.
