Pretty easy..

Grab a hold of the cluster and pull it straight towards you. Then disconnect the connector. They are a couple of bolts that you need to take out on the cluster unit. Then pull the cluster towards you and disconnect some connectors on the rear.

Guys - you disconnect the bolts before pulling the cluster out?? If so, I can't find where the bolts are! Also, where do you grab the cluster? There doesn't seem to be a good way to get ahold of it.

Thanks

after you pull out the cluster trim you should see bolts.. pulling out the trim is easy.. just grab a hold of the pieces between each gauge and pull towards you.
