my winter project is to remove the gauge/instrument cluster, mail it to Palo Alto, and get it refurbished and working. I'd like to duplicate Qarl's. I can find ways to screw things up, so, learned group, what are the tricks? Surely, it doesn't simply slip out and let you disconnect everything. Disconnect from behind/underneath first? What will I screw up if I start this without knowing anything? Thanks, in advance, for any insight you can give me.

each gauge just sits in the console with a rubber gasket. Gently rock any one of them until you can pull it out and then DC the plugs. They have alot of bulbs for illumination and warnings, etc so you might want to photograph and mark them now so its easier to reinstall.

Also, once the first one is out, push the others out from behind.
