I am having to re-wire everything behind the dash of the 1957 Chevy 3100. I would also like to clean up all of the gauge faces, replace speedo cable, choke cable, vacuum lines, etc. I thought, maybe my first mistake, is that it would be easier to remove the instrument cluster to gain access. I have removed the 3 screws from the front face. The cluster is quite loose. I understand the restrictions placed by the speedo cable and oil pressure line. Instrument cluster pulls out about 1/4-1/2" before it contacts metal. It seems like a metal 'flange' on the cluster housing at the top that is stopping removal. Does the cluster pivot out from the bottom? Any suggestions. With my advanced maturity, laying on the floor looking up at the dash is not the most enjoyable task. Suggestions appreciated! Thanks!
