Needed:
Tools:
Ratchet
5.5mm socket
7mm socket
?mm socket (for
steering column bolts)
Something small
& pointy (small screwdriver works well, see step 5)
Flathead
screwdriver
Removal
Step 1:
Remove dash
cover.
Step 2:
Remove the
lower steering column panel.
Step 3: Lower the
steering column. There are 2 bolts holding steering
column up to the dash substructure. Remove them, and
lower your steering column, letting it rest on your seat.
Step 4: Unclip the
wiring harnesses. There are 2 wiring harnesses attached
to the back of the gauge cluster. Squeeze the tabs on
the sides of the harnesses to release them from the cluster.
They're tight, so it will take a strong squeeze, or you can
pry at them with a flathead screwdriver.
Step 5: Remove the
cluster surround. There are two 2-piece clips holding
the surround/bezel in. Push the center circular pin in
slightly, then pry gently out to remove both parts of the
clip. You may be able to get it to pop out by pulling
gently at the surround. Once the two clips are out,
the surround should come out.
Step 6: Remove the
cluster. At this point, nothing should be holding the
cluster in, and there should be enough clearance with the
steering column dropped to remove the cluster.
