My one piece of advice is to make sure everything that is being reinstalled is fully in working order; ask me how I know! I Recently went through all this to replace a bad gas gauge. I too wanted to hire a midget to do the work, but there was not one around. I had to get myself in the right frame of mind and set aside a few days that were free from commitments to do the teardown and install. Take your time. A few cuss words along the way may help the situation. I thought I fully seated all the light sockets for the gauges; I discovered that a couple were pulled out somehow during the reinstall. The issue for me is minor in that I do not drive my truck at night. However, I want EVERYTHING to work as it should. Getting to them now is basically impossible unless I go through the gymnastics event all over again...not gonna do it!
