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.

Don't pull the speedo gauge out first as it has the speedo cable connected to it and depending on the slack..may or may not come out much. So, do the gauge to the right first...then you can reach in and unscrew the speedo cable. You can also just take out the little screws in the face plate (front and there are two on the bottom edge) and the entire faceplate can be just layed down on the steering column. Either way you won't screw anything up..unless you don't mark the wires correctly..then a real pain to hook it all back up.
