Going Nuts with Gauge pod!
I cannot for the life of my figure out where the bottom release is on the gauge pod (stock). I have removed the faceplate, clear plastic protector, and metal pod and am down to where you how your electrical connections for your gauges. I cannot for the life of my figure out how to get behind/disconnect it. The top half is free and loose but the bottom half has some odd clips but when I press them in it seems to not free anything up...

There are 2 10MM nuts holding it in on the bottom. These nuts are located where the bulbs are, the ones that light up the seat belt, choke, check engine etc. Once you remove these you have to remove the speedotomer cable from the speedo. This can be done several ways but I find it easiest to lie on the drivers floor, pull the fuse box down, stick your arm up behind the dash and unclip it. Once you get the 2 nuts off you will see how the speedo cable is attached. Try doing a search and I am sure someone has posted pictures on the removal.

Yay thank you so much. I got it off and looks like theres plenty of space for gauges! I guess I am going to have to do gauges before I drop the car only because theres no way I am putting this back together and then taking it apart again
