I removed the 3 screws holding the instrument bezel to the dashboard but can't get the bezel off to replace the old speedometer glass. Please let me know what else I need to do to remove the bezel so I can remove the old speedometer glass and replace it.

The tube was not very long but follw it from eng. compartment to under/behind dash and one hand on cluster, other hand under/ behind work forward enough to remove oil tube nut. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 12 | So if I am understanding this. The whole instrument cluster needs to come out of the dash just to replace the plastic face behind the bezel. Please confirm. Thanks again --- Roller | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | confirmed, the whole cluster is a pre-assembled unit held together from the back side
