Gauge Removal
 
How do you remove the econometer and outside temp gauge?
Thanks

Why you removing them? wanna sell them and associated pieces? but from the start

remove steering wheel, give the horn panel a good yank to reveal a nut

two screws up top gauge surround and two at bottom
pull cluster forward through. top first
unplug everything.
undo all bolts on the back. 8mm from memory.
black surround with clear plastic should come away
pull the backing off with the printed circuit still attached.
think that's all then you should have access to the encono and ext temp.

if you do wanna sell them and the outside sensor with wiring and vacuum hose let me know. will do a deal with some blanking panels i have for there.

Thanks Logan, that sounds easier than I thought it would be.
I'm removing them from my GLE before I sell it to my brother ;) then fitting them to my GLEi SE because a top spec car like that deserves the extra gauges :)

nicely said. Yea i think that's right. its been a while since i pulled a 360 cluster apart. Tried to fit them into my 87.

Hi mate.
Its also easier if you take of the panal below the steering colume,reach up behind the cluster and twist of the speedo cable.
Cheers Mark.
