    I took the 2 screws out and gave it a tug, but it dosen't seem to want to budge? Are there any other things you have to do besides takeing the screws out and disconnecting the speedo cable and wires?

    Thanks

    I had to take out the bolts that held up the steering column to get mine out, thier was not enough space for it to clear without a hammer (thats called a press fit)

    May just be stuck from years of ???
    It is held in with 2 screws at the top and 2 tabs at the bottom. Pull out at the top only. You can try reaching up under the dash and push out on the cluster.
    You will need to disconnect the speedometer cable and wiring harness from the cluster.

    Ok, thanks guys. I got it out. Tugged at the top a little more and it came out. Didn't sound to good, but I can't find anything broke so...
