The cluster itself had computer grade gear and sprocket self guiding connectors on it. Without the correct documentation to remove the dash you might as well use an axe because of the damage you will do.

Lord I hate pulling out a dash when I don't know what I'm doing. One of my favorite tricks is to find one at a boneyard and practice on it.
Specially good if it's cracked and ugly cause no one was likely to buy it anyway.
I had a wild idea a while back that one could almost make money with a web site devoted exclusively to walking people through pulling interior trim pieces on all makes. I'll have to file that one behind the other 29 fantasy money making projects.
