Hello,

In order to remove the instrument cluster, you will have to remove all the the plastic trim around the dash. It can be done with simple hand tools.

Here is a video guide of how to access the cluster:

I have attached (see below) the complete process of how to access the instrument cluster on your vehicle.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
