Gauges and Bezels

[marbs]

I have had these sitting around for a while waiting for it to warm up so I can install them. How hard/easy is this to do, and how do I get into the dash. I haven't really looked at it yet but since I am here I thought I would ask.

I'm looking to get into my dash also, but the bolts holding the bottom steering column cover are on tight (!!), I can't get those suckers off.

Also I'm not too sure how I can removed to ignition switch to I can get the top steering column shroud...

Its not very hard. I will see if I can remember how to do it.

1: Pull steal plate benith stearing wheel.

2: Remove bolts holding guage trim. 2 Benith steal plate. 2 above guages.

3: Remove all switches. Headlight guage is held by a large nut, easy to remove.

4: Pull off guage trim, it is tricky but doable. Do it slowly and work around stearing wheel.

5: Remove clear plastic, it is held by 4 screws I think.

6: There are a couple screws holding the bezel on. Remove those.

7: Install guages. I used the remote radio controls for power.

8: Unfortuatly to properly align the guages you must tighten the bezel and the clear plastic piece.

9: Put back together.

I have new gage package to install from Speedhut.com and I am trying to figure out how to get the needles off the gages without screwing them up. Anyone got any ideas? Please help as soon as possible. I am trying to get this done before my next car show. Thanks.

You do not pull the needles. They are designed to slide right over. I did do it and it workes fine.

2) Remove access panel: Just below the steering column, is the access panel. It is held on by four torx screws. Two at the top corners, and two at the bottom corners. Use correct torx socket and remove all four screws. If you do not have any torx drivers, buy some. Or sometimes an Allen wrench will work

This is the part I'm stuck on, those screws are on TIGHT!!!

I only have a set of allen keys and I tried hammering the key and it still won't bulge... Grrrr

Use a metric socket. That's what I always use.
