Blackcat custom gauge help.....

I just bought a new gauge cluster, and the directions say to remove the dashboard. Well how hard is it to remove the gauge cluster...how is it done??
THX!

it's not just unscrew the top bolts on top and you do have to remove the Center trim to get to two bolts on the side. After that there is four bolts that remove the gauge cluster itself. All you have to do now is disconnect the power harness from the gauge cluster and it's out. No dash removing, just the trims pieces.

There should just be a plug behind the cluster, unplug and plug in your new cluster.

be careful when you take the plastic cover off the guage cluster. It cracks really easily.
