Removing the gauges.....

I thought i saw this on here once before, but i cant find it. I was wondering how to get the damned gauges out of the dash. I pulled out the 5 screws and took off the choke cable, unpluged the speedometer cable, and i cant figure out whats gettin caught. It only moves out about a quarter inch and no more. Anybody? Thanks....

Brad

Re: Removing the gauges.....

did you take out the ignition setup, and the lights setup as well as the wiper setup. All of those have to be removed to get it out.

On my 60 there were 3 clips, like the ones that lock your cd player into place , one on each side and one dead center on top.
