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.

1.Works easiest if you remove the steering wheel.
2. see beneath the dash and see the fat black speedo cable and push it upwards towards the gauge, this should give you some slack; remove the four phillips screws that tie the gauge cluster to the dash.
3. pull the cluster forward and push the tach from behind to separate the instrument from the panel; diagram every connnection (most important).
4. repeat for the left and right gauge (diagram)
