Bulb replacement / Insturment cluster
Does anyone know how to pull insturment cluster to replace a bulb? Are any special tools needed. The last time I had one go out my mechanic charged me $78.00 for the labor to do it.

That's a rip off for labor, surely they do not take an hour, it should be like ten minutes tops. You can do it yourself, it's very easy and replacing a bulb is like removing a fuse.

To do this, do you have to unbolt any bolts. I had the plastic screen in the lower left corner of the cluster fall. I need to get it back on somehow. Anybody know how to do this? I am sure that you can change the guage face color, but I have to get to it... Thanks and sorry for the hijack...

Are you changing the colors, or just replacing a dead bulb?
And yes, a hanger works just as good as the "mercedes pullers".
