Mmmkay...

Basically I found the best way to remove this piece was to look under the steering column. There are like 3 screws that are in that cover around the column and you have to remove those. Then remove the piece around the streering column and you'll be able to get the piece outa the dash easier.

Bottom line...the cover (its in 2 peices) around the steering column is in the way and once you remove that you can get better access to the guage cluster (you can put your fingers under it, and remove it).

Can you manage or do you need pics?
