First step after removing the cluster assembly from the vehicle is to remove the clusters faceplate. Which was held in by numerous little 1/4 inch self tapping screws.
Once that was taken apart, I used a 3/16 inch drill bit to remove the 8 heads off of the melted plastic holds that secure the clear gauge covers and black metal gauge spacers for the tach block off plate and 4 gauge cluster from the cluster faceplate.
From there I used the same drill bit to remove the 6 plastic holds securing the clear gauge covers from the black metal gauge spacers
