Cluster Removal

1. Remove the center
climate control/radio outer
bezel by pulling the lower
two corners outward. Four
snaps hold each corner in
place. Move the shifter out
of "park" to help free the
bezel.



2. With a screwdriver,
remove the four screws that
hold the instrument cluster
fascia to the center portion
of the dash.




3. Start detaching the
lower steering fascia by
pulling the left corner
straight outward, releasing
the snap from the dash.





4. Detach the right side of
the steering fascia in the
same manner as the left,
pulling the corner outward and
releasing the snap.





5. Finish removing the lower
steering fascia by removing
the three screws at the
bottom.





6. Unhook the black rubber
steering sleeve locate
directly under the steering
column.






7. Begin detaching the
bottom portion of the
instrument panel fascia by
pulling the left and right
corners straight outward.
The left side will need to
come out over the headlight
knob. It is a snug fit but
will "pop" through.

8. The instrument clusters
fascia should now lift up
and off the steering column,
exposing the instrument
cluster.





9. Remove the four screws
holding the instrument
cluster in the dash. 






10. After removing the
screws, pull the cluster
straight out from the dash,
releasing it from the two
plug connectors it is seated
on.

  
General notes:
1. Pointers are NOT removed.
2. Pointers will return to
   normal positions when
   engine is started.








Overlay Install

1. Separate the clear lens
and the black ring bezel by
pressing in the tabs around
the clusters edge.





2. Start with one of the
four smaller faces. Peel
back and snip off the right
side backing leaving the
other half for you to hold
while aligning the numbers
in the next step.




3. Align the numbers
evenly and press down,
adhering it to the cluster
face. Now move the needle
to the right and peel off
the backing of the left
side of the overlay and
press it firmly to the
face. 


4. Gently pull the top layer
of transfer tape up, leaving
the overlay on the face.






5. On the 2 larger faces,
peel back and snip off the
lower backing that covers
the hole where the needles
will protrude. Be sure to
leave the upper half of the
backing on the overlay for
you to hold when adjusting
the alignment on the next
step.

6. With the needle pointing
up, slip the overlay down over
the needle, placing the needle
through the hole of the
overlay. Align the numbers
evenly and press down,
adhering it to the face. Point
the needle toward the bottom
and remove the rest of the
backing from the overlay and
press it firmly to the face. 

7. Gently pull the top layer
of transfer tape up, leaving
the overlay on the face.




Steering Decal

1. Trim the steering decal
around its edges. This will
help when you align it to the
steering cover. 






2. Peel back and remove the
backing and then re-stick it
back on creating a "T" shape
and creating a handle for you
to hold. Align it up to the
letters and press it firmly
on top of the letters. Gently
remove the top transfer tape.
Rub down the overlay to make
sure it is fully adhered.

3. Reinstall everything in
the reverse order.

NOTE: Be sure to clear the
inside of the cluster of dust
and finger prints before
installing the clear lens back
on to the instrument housing.
