Default Rheostat replacement

Hi there, I'm pretty new to this forum. I am having a pretty common problem with my 2001 Accent, a problem with the dash lights that are attached to the rheostat. I've seen this solution been posted pretty often, but I'm not sure about how to actually remove it (without causing any unnecessary damage of course). If someone can give me a quick rundown it would be greatly appreciated. This leads me to a follow up question, I haven't seen a chilton or haynes available for my Accent..............are there any online alternatives.

Not sure how to remove it specifically, but if you pull the panel it should be fairly easy from the back.

Everyone starts somewhere. That website has got to be one of the best ideas ever (IMO). I've learned quite a bit from it.

Mine popped out with a pocket knife, went back in fine, but it's an 03, so yours may be different.
