I understand it is actually MUCH more difficult to replace the cluster than to remove it...anyone care to address this?

That's the first I have every heard of this...all of the clusters I have ever removed were much easier to replace than to remove...basically they just press back into position in most cases...no big deal.

The cluster in my SLK (R170) was a bear to get out. I wanted to replace one of the light bulbs and landed up removing the entire dash face top and bottom drivers side just to get to it...what a fiasco of a design that one was. It took me the better part of 2 hours just to replace a burned out cluster bulb...no excuse for that other than they just consider nobody would be crazy enough to spend 2 hours doing it or to pay someone to do it for them...I could just see my local stealer charging $200 for that.
