I have had them out many times and they are never easy. If it has never been out there is a retainer that holds the
wire loom that will need to be opened up. The biggest issue is the oil line. Disconnect it from the engine and when the
panel is pulled out slightly, disconnect it from the gauge. The wires for the gauges and lights are very short and need
to be disconnected to remove the panel. Mark everything first. Tape a towel to the column so you don't scratch it up.
