How do you replace the plastic circuit trace on the back of a 1985 cluster?

The tachometer is not functioning on my 1985 cluster. On start up it just spins around and then stops.

1. Can this problem be fixed?
2. I have another cluster but the circuit trace on the back is damaged. Was thinking of swapping the circuit trace on the two clusters. What's the best way to remove the circuit trace off without damaging anything??

Cheers!

Apparently you haven't even tried yet because it's easier than heck.

ok... Yea it doesn't seem to be difficult. I see these metal tabs holding down the plastic circuit film. Do they pop out somehow?
