Originally posted by muskamike: To the CEG people, how hard is the removal of the exsisting gauges? Would I have to remove the dash as well to install these?
Very simple. 4 screws total to remove the dash cover. 1 behind the defrost button, 2 above the cluster, 1 behind the clock/Contour logo.
Once the cover is removed, there is a few screws holding the cluster down. I can't remember how many since it's been a while since I opened on.
The needles will have to be removed in order to install the new gauges. This is where it get's tricky. Proper alignment of the needles is very important.
I can post a few little tips for people if needed.
P.S. Remember the position of all 4 needles at time of removal.
