Easy or hard to replace clock backlighting?

My 2000 Odyssey LX recently had the backlighting in the dashboard LCD
clock go. All other lights - instruments, stereo, all that, work.

How easy is it to fix this? Is there a diagram on the web showing how
to gain access to what I assume is a 38-cent lightbulb that needs to
be replaced?

if like the Accord (i have a '99), it is TOO EASY! I think the clock light
from honda is ~$4 and it looks like a small screwhead (about the size of a
womans pinkie nail). In my case, take a flat head screw driver and insert
under the clock and lightly pry up. It will pop out. disconnect the power
cables to the clock and the hazard lights. on the backside, you will see
the end of the old light. do your best to get it out of there, it can be
tricky and frustrating. The new one goes in easily. reconnect your power
cables and slide back into the dash.

can you tell, I just did this for both my Accords?!?! Of course they burned
out two weeks apart, so two trips to the Honda dealer.

It's NOT like the Accords. The entire dash panel must be removed because the
clock is screwed in from behind.
