Dash cluster bulb replacement

Hey guys,

Just had my oil pressure bulb go out and wanted to replace it. Went to the parts store and bought a 194. Now I've read a lot of different things about replacing these like disconnecting the speedo cable and needing a new socket.

Here's my questions
On my 86 t/a where are the bolts located to remove it?
Is speedo cable removal needed? and how/where?
Can I just pull out the bulbs and replace it or do I need to replace the bulb holder like in some camaros?

Thanks

Unfortunatly I found there was a bolt holding the trim in behind the ac controls and I don't feel like removing it so I gave up on it until it really irks me but hopefully someone will shed some light!

86 does not have a speedo cable, it's a plug in type.Just remove the surrounding panels and pull it out.
