GOT IT

For future reference.

1. Obviously the carpet mats have to come out.

2. I used two paint can openers to pull the cluster

3. You must take off a plastic underbelly under the dash. This will give you reference as to where the hole/tunnel is to feed the beast.

4. It won't feed from the bottom. I used a thin piece of wire and inserted it down the tunnel,so i knew where to grab the cable.

5. You must lubricate the rubber grommet to get it to squeeze down the tunnel. I ran hot water over it, then put soap on it to provide lubrication. I sort of stuffed it down the hole with a ruler.

that's about it.

I am back in business.
