The most difficult part, I think, is popping the speedo cable off. I suggest a long flat-bladded screw driver, a flashlight, and the ability to screw yourself into a pretzel. Also, to make removal easier, you might consider dropping your steering column a bit, as well as covering the forward section of the column with masking tape for the sake of protection. Before you swap in, you also might consider white-faced guages and/or higher intensity xenon bulbs, colored or clear (not only for the cluster but also the A/C heater control head). This latter is highly recommended.
