I would also like to know how to do this because I have a bug that got in there and died and it's driving me nuts.

I only know how because I changed out the gauge cluster for a white one. You have to take off the panel under the stering wheel (2 phillips and 2 9/32 hex). After that, you will see 4 big screws holding up the steering wheel column. There will be 2 up top and 2 on a v-shaped safety frame (next to ones at top). Undo these four screws and let the steering column drop. It should lower about 2-3 inches and hang on its own. After this is out of the way, undo the 2 screws at the top of the bezel that surrounds the clear plastic gauge cover. After it is out of the way, just unscrew the gauge cluster (4 screws, can't miss) and pull towards you. You will not have to worry about wires because it plugs into the dash with a grid. After it is taken off, you just pop off the face.

I hope this helps. It took me 1 1/2 hours to do mine but I was taking a lot of time with the gauges. it should only take you 30-40 minutes. It will be worth it though. You also may want to glue some kind of foam weatherstripping to the hole at the trip odometer reset. I didn't do this but I wish i would have to keep any more dust and bugs from entering the gauge cluster.
