its not too hard, just 2 bolts up top (8mm i believe), then the hardest part is removing the headlight **** (its a little hard to explain...here)...just take your time with it, a small flat head works best. then its just 4 bolts holding the cluster in if you need to go that far...have fun...and try to figure out where the bugs are coming in from

I cant imagine how you managed to do that either is there just a random hole in the back of your guages?

That's actually the easiest part.
Just bend a nail at a 90* angle using a pair of plyers and then put it into the little slot and lift up and pull the **** off.
