In looking through the steps again, I'm tempted to see if I can reach the four triple meter screws with just the center console trim removed. It wouldn't be easy though and if you can't get the gauges mounted again, you get to take the whole dash apart...
Those 4 screws are not reachable from the center console as the hvac piping is in the way and it's not reachable from below or on the side of the center console (had the entire stereo, cubby, glove box, etc apart) either as once again, the hvac piping is in the way ........ plus if you disconnect the voltage meter from the triple gauge assembly, you get a check engine light. Oh yes, before I forget, if you still want to try, remove the seats and center console to give you more room to work.
