Re: How do i remove gague cluster from my car?
Working from memory here:
1-Remove the lower cover under the steering column. Its 3 Torx screws, a T25 I think.
2-Remove the cigarette lighter and headlight *****.
3-Remove the 2 screws on the bottom and 3(2?) on the top of the gauge trim bezel, 7MM or 8MM I think they are.
4-If you haven't had to already, tilt the wheel all the way down. Pull gently on the gauge trim bezel until the clips release. Then just work it around till you can pull it out. Usually I pull it down and then tilt the top forward till it will clear my steering wheel.
5- Remove the 2 screws on the bottom and 3 screws on top. They should be the same size as the screws you removed in Step 3.
6-Gently pull the gauges towards you to disconnect them from the electrical connections in back and remove the same way you pulled the trim bezel out.
7-To remove the clear cover over the gauges, you'll need a small Torx driver. I think its a T5 or T10.
8-As they say in the manuals, installation is the reverse of removal

Re: How do i remove gague cluster from my car?
just did this yesterday lol. hes right ^^
keep a 7mm in handy because almost all of em are that size.
all it is it layer after layer of bolts to take off and itll come right out, i found it very helpful to un screw my tilt lever out as well to take some of the pieces in and out.
oh yea i dont remember if it was stated but youll also have to pull off all the instrument needles if your changing to a white faced guage just a heads up...be gentle with them!!!!

Good idea on the tilt lever, I didn't realize it unscrewed and it definitely gets in the way.
