How to get to and remove gauge cluster 1987 Firebird

Hi, as I stated in a previous post, I installed the Sniper system and consequently the check engine light stayed on. I knew I had to remove the bulb, but how to get to it. After agonizing for so long, I finally figured out to get to and remove the check engine bulb.
The following photos will show you how to do the job. Any questions, please ask.

Louis

Glad you figured it out. Looks like a nice clean car.
IMO, that is the steering wheel that should have come in these cars from the factory.

Thanks No Emiss,
the steering wheel is from a Cavalier. Not sure what year.

If you loosen the two big/...13??? 15?? mm nuts that hold the steering column up, you can easily pull the cluster all the way out if needed!
