On mine I had the bottom panel off the drivers side to replace the cruis module, so I just reached up behind the dash and pushed it out slightly. You need a 10mm to remove mechanical oil line, and then unplug wiring, and unscrew speedomoter cable. The cluster slides in as a pressure fit, no screws, no nothing.
