Exactly right, but let me add this job be done without removing the cluster, the part around the guages, but man is it EASIER to take them out and remove the dash pad and reinstall.

Now removal of the pad with guage surround in isn't bad, but reinstall is a real PITA.

I'd definately reccomend removing the bezel or surround around the guages.

If you leave it in you have to remove like 5 or 6 of it's screws anyways. I did mine w/o removing the bezel only because I have a cd player in the truck, and the cage for it has the tabs bent holding it to the surround and metal dash, and has to be fought to get in or out, and unplugged so it's extra work and a PITA.

Also don't forget some radios have little nuts on the dials that you have to take off after the knobs are removed. I think that's only aftermarket ones though, not sure on factory, never had one.
