Removing the Dash

I am trying to get back the the panel where the tach and speedo sit, but I can not seem to get the black infront of it off. I have attached a picture showing the dashboard. The arrows are screws I have been able to remove, but it still won't come off. Does anyone know if there are other screws I'm missing?

You just have to be able to grab the top part, and pull it out. As far as I remember, those are all the screws you need to remove. Its snaps in, so you should be able to pull it out with out using too much force. Goodluck.

I thought about trying that, but I am notorious for pulling too hard and breaking things, or not being able to get them back in. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

I took it off, and got the gauge cluster loose, but didn't want to pull too hard and disconnect some cables. How far out does the cluster come?

It comes out just far enough to pull the connectors off, but there is not a lot of room you can work with. So you have to figure out the geometry of how the cluster comes out, and goes back in. Just take you time. Its not too hard.
