72 Dart: How many hours to remove speedo

It couldn't take 2 hours. Your mechanic doesn't want to do it so he charges you 5 hours. Like stated he probably has to learn how to do it and hope that he doesn't break nothing. If you learned how to do it in or careful you would probably do it in about an hour. Like you said just the two bolts into the steering column to drop is slightly in the six screws around in your end. Start unplugging everything from the back and take it in the house. Or pay your mechanic 5 hours to learn how to take those two bolts out of the bottom of the steering column in the six screws around the cluster.
