85 T/A Gauge Cluster Bulb Replacements

Had to drive my 85 T/A into work (waay to early in the season!) this morning because my DD is out of commission and I noticed that the backlight bulbs for the speedometer are burnt out.

Firstly, can someone help me understand how the pull the cluster out? I've never done it on this car (although I've done other cars before), and I don't see any obvious ways to remove it.

Secondly, what bulbs do I need and how many to do them all? I am not looking for LED's or anything, I prefer the original style.

I searched and I can only find info on the Camaro setup.

I'm actually working on replacing my bulbs. The bulbs you're looking for are size 194. That should cover all the bulbs in the instrument cluster.

Yes, 194's. But get the long life ones. The filaments are supported better.
