• 15mm x 3/8" drive deep socket
• 3/8" drive ratchet & 6" extension
• 7mm x 1/4" drive socket
• 7/32" x 1/4" drive socket
• 1/4" drive ratchet, screwdriver handle, universal joint, 3-4-6" extension
• Small straight slot screwdriver
• Dental Pick (90* angle tip)

1. Remove the bottom panel under the steering column:
   • Remove the two 7mm screws at the forward portion  (nearest the firewall) of the panel.
   • Slide the panel forward to unhook it from the rest of the lower dash.- I left the air ducting in place and just let the panel dangle.
     
     
2. Drop the steering column:
   • Loosen the two 15mm nuts that hold the steering column up.
   • Back them out until they are just engaged on the bolt by a few threads.  There is no need to remove the nuts as you just need to drop the column down to get the face bezel out.
     
     
3. Remove the dash face bezel:
   • The face bezel is a snap in deal with 8 sprung metal clips holding it in place at the following location:
     • Two where the steering column goes through, ~2" up from the bottom
     • One at the bottom right corner (under the right side mirror remote in my case), ~1" in from the edge
     • One at the right side, centerline of dash
     • One at the upper right corner, +- 1/2" in from the edge
     • One at the upper left corner, +- 1" in from the edge
     • One at the left side, +- centerline of dash, between the air duct and warning lights.
     • One at the bottom left corner under the headlight switch, +-2.5" in from the edge
   • Start at the bottom by tugging in the area where the steering column was.
   • Once it "pops out" a bit, I used the dental pick go in behind the bezel at the right mirror remote to pop bottom right clip.
   • Then I did the same over at the headlight switch for the bottom left clip.
   • A little tug at the bottom popped the clips at the left and right sides.
   • Then back to the dental pick to pop the upper left clip through the opening now accessible around the air duct.
   • Then the dental pick again to pop the upper right clip through the opening now accessible around warning lights.
   • My bezel was a snug fit in the opening, but a little wiggling got it out.  Remove the bezel, and set aside in a safe location.
     
     
4. Remove the right side warning light bezel and lens:
   • I found this necessary in order to remove the instrument cluster bezel and lens.
   • Remove the two 7/32" screws, top and bottom.
   • Remove the bezel and lens, and set aside in a safe location.
     
     
5. Remove the instrument cluster bezel and lens :
   • Remove the four 7/32" screws in the four corners.
   • Remove the bezel and lens, and set aside in a safe location.
     
     
6. Remove the trip odometer knob:
   • Rotate the knob in a counterclockwise direction.
   • Mine took a little more effort than I thought would be necessary, but it finally snapped loose.
     
     
7. Remove the gear selector indicator needle:
   • I used the dental pick again.  Holding the selector indicator housing from coming forward, get the pick in behind the pin and snap it out.
     
     
8. Remove the instrument cluster:
   • Remove the five 7/32" screws:
     • One on each side, ~1" up from the bottom
     • Two on top, on either side of the speedometer readout
     • One recessed at the bottom
   • Remove the two straight slot pan head screws below the odometer readout to release the odometer from the cluster.
   • Pull the cluster forward.  The cluster is plugged into a printed circuit board socket near the upper center of the cluster.  It doesn't take much effort to pop it out.

Now that the cluster is out, all the fine scratches on the lenses (and even the dash bezel appliqués) are clearly visible.  This would be a perfect opportunity to polish these out to like new condition, which I will do while my dash is at Casper's.  Hope this helps somebody someday!
