to remove the cluster is easy, the trim piece across the dash needs to come off, take the sides off first, fuse cover,same for driver side, then you will see the clips for the trim, pop it out on the pass side first, and just keep popping the clips, (oh it helps to pull the center dash out a bit, 2 clips top corners, where it goes around the climate control) when you get to the part in front of you where the cluster is tilt the wheel down, and pull the bottom out, and slide it out.
the air vents stay in the trim piece too, so dont worry when you see them coming out with it. this is a good time to pop them out and clean them too.
the cluster its self is 4 small screws 4 corners, pull the bottom out and flip it up, the plug is on the top middle of the cluster, you will have plenty of extra harness to play with the plug to get it off. it is a tight fit, even after you un clip it.
