Also need to remove the speedo cable and the oil line going to the gauge. Probably some electric harness, too.

I figured that I could deal with that stuff once I pulled the gauges out of the dash a little, but with the screws out the gauges are still solidly held in the dash. I can't even pry them out a little bit with a screwdriver.

Sorry for the thread-jacking

I wonder if it's rusted on??? I would think that it would have some give.

Next time take a BFH with you. I'm pretty sure just the screws hold it in. It comes out towards you.

I think part of my problem is the ignition switch. Not stock and I can't get it completely out (thread issues) but I can't really move the gauges enough for that to even be issue yet. Before the BFH comes out of my tool bag I'll have to resort to laying on the gross carpet and get a good look at the back.

Sorry for the interuption.

Now back to your previously scheduled thread.
