How to remove gauge cluster?
I want to remove my gauge cluster to change my bulbs and also when I get the white face gauges, it will be easier to put them on with the cluster removed....How do I take it off? Ive taken the panel and the lense and all the bolts holding it I think but it wont come out....am I missing something?
thanks guys

Once you have all the crap off and the cluster exposed, look down in the cluster where the 'check engine' bulb is, you'll notice a small thread cutting nut (10mm or something close to that) next to the bulb and another on the other side by the seatbelt light (I think it's that bulb anyways..). You'll also need to disconnect the cable from the back of the speedo (there is a 'clip' to press down on to release the cable head) before the cluster 'glides' right out ( )

When you get to the point where the cluster is almost out, but wont pull free, just climb under the dash. Using a long flat screw driver, push on the clip on the very back of the speedo, towards the seat.
I will attach a pic of the clip in a minute.
