Hints on removing and replacing instrument cluster chrome bezel
« on: May 09, 2021, 03:59:08 »
Anyone have any hints about how to remove/replace the instrument cluster chrome bezel (113-689-07-71)? It looks like it screws in (see photo)? From where?
I've learned the hard way about the damage that can be done when removing the instruments! :-[
Thanks!

Gary,

You would need to remove the upholstered dash pad above first.  Then the very very thin chrome binnacle can be removed as it's screwed into the metal.  See photos.
