Default Dash removal

Hey guys Im swapping my 92 sc300 dash for a black 93 sc300 one and have no idea how it comes off, I cant afford to break or bend any pieces with trial and error so can anyone give me a quick walk through on how to remove the dash? Thanks in advance

Its hard 2 explain but fairly easy to do. First you need to pull out the black protector piece in front of the cluster(pulls out). Then you will find 2 screws at the top left/right and two at the bottom. Once you do that then you can pull out the cluster and remove the plugs. The plugs took me the longest b/c mine were old and the plastic was in bad shape, I think there are 4, once you do that then connect the new cluster to the harness and you are good to go! Hope that helps..

so, thats the cluster, not the dash removal but watch out, if going to a 93 dash, it has the airbag, that the 92 is missing, i dont know how it affects removal or install of the other, but i have a 92, and a 93, and i know the 93 has it.
