Cannot get instrument cluster past steering wheel! How can I drop it enough to get it by? Also, I can't find any company that wheel fix the old one either.

You might need to get a used unit; can you tilt the wheel in one direction or the other to gain additional room?

I can tilt it down but still not enough room to clear it.

Remove the lower panel below the steering column and loosen the column mounting nuts. This will lower the column down enough to remove the cluster.
