OK, now you're cooking. With the speedo disconnected, you can carefully maneuver the cluster out and set it face up on the steering wheel - at least I could on my car. The connection for the back of the speedo was actually supporting the cluster as it sat.

In this position you can disconnect the remaining wires on the right side, etc., especially the warning lamps I mentioned above.

Once you get everything disconnected, you're free! Take the cluster and maneuver it completely out, and put it on your bench or whatever.

My car does not have a telescoping wheel, but I had plenty of room to get the cluster out.
