DIY: Triple Gauge Cluster

cammmy

Hi all. First off, thanks for the guide. It really helped me out.

If like me, you only want to get the silver bezels off so you can paint them, here's how I did it without making a special tool. Just lift up the hood from the front as much as you can and get a very small flat head screw driver into the gap on one side. Use this to lever the hood outwards and gently pull up, it will take a bit of leverage but will eventually pop upwards. Then for the bezels, the guages clip together in several stages. The first is the bezel and the second is the front cover. Get the top two clips undone on the cover and gently pull it forward, there is another clip on the bottom that's impossible to get to, so don't break this. Levering the cover forwards will allow you to get your small flat head down to the two clips at the bottom that hold the bezel on, get these undone, then undo the top one and you're home free!

I managed to do this for the first time today without breaking anything. It's a pain but if you take your time, it's not awful.
