Instrument cluster removal
Does anyone know how to remove the factory instrument cluster out of an 05' clk500? I see slots on the bottom corners, special tool to stick in there to release it?

w209 instrument cluster
MB sells the tool its called instrument cluster removal tool. Its set of 2 pics with handles. All you do is stick in the holes and the end of the tool has a hook you turn 1/4 of a turn and pull together with both hands on both hooks.

One bit of advice, check with your local dealer or mail order Mercedes dealers. Good chance they'll be cheaper than Ebay.

Why did you have to take out your cluster? New one?

This is for the W203, but the W209 is the same. The first few pics show you what you are doing and what the homemade tool looks like:
