I am trying to remove my dash for painting and my gauge cluster for led switch. I can't seem to really find any write ups. I've got majority of dash off but can't seem to get my gauge cluster out. I have to put a new ignition lock cylinder assembly in too. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. The truck is an 89 p/u standard base 2wd model

 

Gauge cluster is held in by 4 screws. One at each corner. You could possibly have a cable driven speedo, look behind to see if you do. It kinda snaps on, so you'll have to release it. If you don't see a cable goin to back of speedo, it's just wires. You can't mess up and put tem back in the wrong spot. They'll only fit in one spot.

 

I can't get to the 4 screws

 

Have u removed the plastic bezel trim around the gauge cluster

Got the bezel off and took the 4 bolts out but it doesn't budge. I actually tore the clear face of the gauges off trying to get it out

 

Hmmm .. Well the four screws are the only thing holding it from the factory if u have a cable speedo sometimes the cable is pulled tight and won't let the cluster move very well so it doesn't budge at all not even shake a little ?

 

Nothing
