Re: gauge cluster question
If I remember correctly, there is a tiny screw in the black knob, kinda round the side of it, should be a flathead. Take that screw out and the knob will come off. Under that there is a chrome piece that unscrews and a nut underneath that you'll take off, then it should come right out.

Re: gauge cluster question
Hey, I think I told you wrong...one other thing to try, feel up on the back of the switch, there may be a button or something on top of it. Push down on that and the knob and rod will come pulling out. I think I was thinking of the wiper switch.

Re: gauge cluster question
Maddog1331 is correct, the wiper knob is held in place with a small screw, but the headlight knob and shaft come out in one piece by pushing in a small button on the switch behind the dash and pulling on the knob. To reinsert it, just push it in the switch and it will snap into place.

Re: gauge cluster question
Correct but usually requires alot of jiggling as they bind up from corrosion. Play with it being a little forceful if it's stuck.

Re: gauge cluster question
Be prepared to monkey with that for a while, and at the same time getting a sore thumb from pushing in that little button!
I hate having to take mine apart just for that reason... Though there have been times it just comes right out, but more so of the time it takes a while and some swear words.
