Not very hard at all to remove this with a little knowledge. There is a tutorial that gives you a step-by-step. Yes, there is another tutorial that gives a step-by-step breakdown of the cluster, also done by LexLS. Again, there are slight differences between the different years, however I would beat that almost 99% of this applies to you. Yes you can transfer the needles if you dont want the hastle of breaking the cluster down, but you will find it "easier" to just buy a refurbed one with similar mileage. Possibly a cheaper route and more cost effective might be to have it rebuilt.

Please search before you post a new thread, clearly this has been done before, if you have I hope this helps out. Now www.LexLS.com is a great website, and he's a Minnesotan I believe so he's even that much cooler in my book. Again, I hope this helps you figure out what you need to.
