Yank straight up on the dash cover, pull it out torwards you, and you got 4 screws in each corner of the cluster. take the screws out and pull straight back till it pops out. Dash pad is just quick clips and the electrical connection doesn't even have a clip on it, you just push the new cluster in and screw down. push the dash cover back then hit the top to reconnect the quick clips. shouldn't take but 2-3 min.

Best tip there is, to have a magnet stick ready. The bottom left screw is a pain to get back in.

Did you swap odometers to keep the mileage correct?
