its been a while since i took mine out i remember it was kind of a pain seems about as easy to unhook the main harness and pull the entire dash out, however to get mine out i took the radio bracket/wire plugs loose from underneath, then i took loose the heater control from underneath, and pulled the plug off the light and wiper switch, then from the front i took the screws out of the bezel and had to take loose the steering column support bolts to get it out from behind the steering wheel. its been a while but those are the steps i remember.

No mater which way you go,it is a royal pain, and its very easy to break something.So be very careful,I tried both ways, just the cluster and pulling the dash,ended up breaking the heater control, and poking a hole in a perfect $500 ebay dash pad. And as a side thought you have to pull the steering column.
