Re: taking out gauge cluster
Yep, you have to reach up behind the dash & push a little relese button on the headlight switch. The knob shaft will slide out once released. Then the chrome bezel unscrews from the switch.

Re: taking out gauge cluster
Sometimes you have to have the mouth in the correct position. Facial expressions can also be of help.

Re: taking out gauge cluster
SIDE NOTE: Disconnect the battery, when you pull out the headlight switch shaft your head lights are on. FYI
