A good idea is to have your cell phone at close reach if you stick your hand up under the dash and it gets stuck

Good luck. Do as much as you can while it is out like replacing all of the light bulbs, if you are capable of removing the entire cluster after removing the speedometer cable, oil sender fitting, temperature sender. and boden cable for the shift indicator you can then take the cluster to your workbench and do some more detailing of it. The insude of the glass tends to get a little crudey on the inside over time, a perfect time to clean it up as it make a big difference.
