[QUOTE="2003tahoe, post: 2406, member: 145"] After you have removed the cluster you will need to bring it inside to start the cluster tear down process. First of all the cluster back plate is held on by 4 clips on top and 3 on the bottom side and the front plate is held on by 3 clips on the top and 2 on the bottom [ATTACH]66.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65.vB[/ATTACH] To make it easier to disassemble the cluster is take the back off this is where the flat head screwdriver comes in handy, just pop the back clips off [ATTACH]70.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]68.vB[/ATTACH] Then start on the front side on the top here is the tricky part, the front bottom has clips that are on the inside what i did is press on the white part to release the clips(sorry no picture for this) When you are able to take the front off be careful not to disturb the needles and put the back plate on so you don't touch the solder points on metal or anything (there are a lot of them) after all that put tape on the cluster backing that show the rpm, mph, etc. The tape will go at the zero point on all the needles. After you have done this move all the needles to zero till you feel resistance and stop or they will be off and will need to be corrected later which is why you should replace the needles anyway so you don't have to open it back up later on if the needles act up like they are known to in our trucks. Also when you mark where the needles stop at look at it from the very top so it wont be off by mm's [ATTACH]69.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
