Why would you want to? just get the fly out its pretty easy. Pop the trim ring out, take out the screws for the shroud and gage cluster and eveything comes right out. Dont scratch up the clear lens and it helps to put your steering wheel all the way down. Im probably forgeting a few detail but its not hard at all. Install a Mcewen White gage face overlay and call it a day.

Unscrewing the tilt steering lever helps a lot too. Just take your time and go easy.

How about "Sol?" If you've ever watched the Odd Couple, you'd understand.
