Let's Pull the Instrument Cluster!

Hi folks, I thought I would contribute a how-to segment. Here's how I pulled the cluster on my W124 E300D today to change the instrument panel lights. Actually I was hoping to fix the clock, but that didn't happen... Bear with me on this step by step procedure.

Step 1.

First you have to have the cluster removal tools. You can buy them from MB, or you can make your own from a coat hanger, like I did. Here's a pic of my tools. As I say in the photo, the length doesn't matter too much, but you don't want it real long because it will interfere with the steering wheel.

I have only seen pics of the factory tools, so I can't say how long they are. Took me about 10 minutes to make these with a heavy wire cutter, a bench vise, and an occasional tap from a hammer.

See below for Step 2.
