1992 Trans Am gauge cluster removal and tach replacement-step by step instructions??

I have a nos tach that I want to install into my 92 TA vert since mine recently started acting up. Would anyone be willing or able to share with me step by step instructions regarding what I need to remove and how I need to remove it in order to access the gauge cluster and what I need to do in order to remove the gauge cluster from the car and the original tach from the gauge cluster? Thank you all in advance!!!

That's not what I was looking for. I wanted a step by step breakdown of what you need to remove in order to access the cluster, instructions how to remove the cluster from the dash and then how to swap out the tach. I think I've got it figured out now but I'd still gladly and happily take advice from anyone who's done this on a 92 firebird.

It's so straightforward. Take off knee pad lower dash. Take off fog light, trunk switch bezel. Take off gauge bezel. Take off plastic gauge lens. Take off grey trim rings. Take off dash cluster.
Take off gauge.
Simple.
