The odometer is 48k less that the original. One more thing to deal with. Can the replacement OD be easily reset? I GUESS IF I PUT IN NEW GEARS THEY CAN DO IT AT THE SAME TIME.

CAN I DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO CLUSTER, I MEAN, DRIVE IT HOME WITHOUT THE WHEEL FALLING OFF?

THEN I DO ALL OF THE CLUSTER WORK BRING IT BACK TO MR. MB AND HAVE HIM TIGHTEN THE WHEEL AND REINSTALL THE AIRBAG?

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE OF STEPS?

THANKS JACK
Only issue I can think of (there may be others) is plugging the vacuum line.

However, since you don't want to DIY, is there any reason not to have the new cluster repaired and then just have them exchanged. It would save any issues with driving without cluster or airbag.
