the black surrounding comes out pretty easy

2 small screws on the main black part of the dash. Upper Top just above your cluster. 1 screw behind your hazard light switch (remove it, easily pops out)

Then you should be able to just pop the black dash insert out. No you can access your cluster, held in by 4 screws. 2 on each side.

Piece of cake

like lyle refered to it,the part your trying to get to is the guage cluster...or just call it cluster,the dash is the entire dash,if you get what i mean.

its just a matter of unscrewing the black surround,unscrewing the cluster,wriggling it out.

when you get cluster half way out you may have to reach around the back of the cluster to undo the two wiring connectors,one on each side,dont pull too hard before you unclip these or you could damage things.just a matter of finding the lil part that pushes in on the clip,hold it in and pull the connector off

taking off the dash is pretty much what was said above,
just undo the wiring obviously behind the clock and the hazard light,
and then done!
there are 4 screws on the cluster(i think its called that?odeometer part)
2 of them are BEHIND the needles(assuming the car is parked and stopped) and 2 of them are straight infront of you.
