Default Installing Gauges

How hard is it to actully put some gauges in? Not the whole cluster, just the gauge faces themselves.

some people say yes..some people say no, iv never done it myself but the biggest problem that everyone seems to have is putting it around the needles, eveything else is easy

no, it isnt hard at all...might take a while but its not hard. the biggest thing is just not to move the needles and measure where your gas level is so if you move it, you can place it back correctly...not REmove...just move. dont try and take the needles off.

Ok first you remove the gauge bexel trim thing, it is 4 screws 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. You take the screws out and gently work the bezel off, it may take a little pulling and tugging but it will snap out.

After that you have 4 screws holding the actual cluster in place, take these out. Pull your cluster out but dont go to far as there are 4 plug ins on the back you need to unplug. After doing this you can remove the cluster from the car. Once the cluster is out the clear plastic on the front will snap off but be careful to not break it. Remove that then you have access to put the faces on.

All faces have a round cut out in the middle for the needles base to pivit on, work the needle through that and into place.
