Default instrument cluster

Hey Family,

Need some Help. I'm replacing the Lamp Bulbs from my instrument cluster (65 pony).DoI pull them off or twist them off the socket and will they come out? I don't want to ruin the wires.
Help?

Should pull right out, at least they did in my 68. Just take your time and be careful not to pull the wires, pull the socket.

[align=left]Take out all the screws. Pull the cluster forward as far as it will come out. It will be about 3-4 inches. Then you have to loosen the nut on the speedo cable. It's kind of a pain but I've done it many times. Put it back to gether in the reverse order described.
