Should be relatively simple once you get the dash off. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure your entire dash plate is one piece. once you get that off should be about a dozen 7 mil hex head screws. Keep in mind its been a number of years since i've done it myself so I could be getting it mixed up with my own. the bulbs should just be a screw style mount similar to your headlights....if anyone reads this and i am way off base please let me know, but i am pretty sure

Same thing happened to me. Found this video on YouTube.


Will say, guy before me tried it himself and managed to break the oil gauge prying it up. Now I gotta find a whole new cluster, which is no easy task. The right hand side in particular (AC controls) is not an easy one to take apart. Not a lotta give in the wiring behind the panel face.

I have removed my cluster a few times to replace Oil Pressure gage and Tem gage. You have to get at the mounting bolts that are behind the light switch and the Heater Control Switch. There is cable for the Shift Indicator on the column that you need to disconnect and if you have a mechanical speedometer it is another issue to deal with.
