firing order of 1971 VW
Take the gauge face plate off, pull the gauge out.
The gauge cluster is mounted from behind the dash with three bolts. You have to reach in behind there and remove the three nuts with a small wrench. Once you remove the nuts, the gauge cluster itself will push back through the dash. From there, you can remove the speedo itself from the cluster. The speedometer only has 3 small screws keeping it mounted to the gauge cluster.
pull the dash off then disconnect the wires and pull the gauge out
you cant! impossible.
1. remove the entire dash board 2. remove the instrument cluster 3. change bulb
The actual dash would have to be cut out, as it is attached. The gauge cluster un bolts from the back.
Unscrew the two screws above the gauge cluster. Then, on the right side of the dash near the airbag switch start pulling the dash off, it is all held in place by clips.
The Miata.net Garage section (http://www.miata.net/garage/) has a wealth of information on all things Miata related.This is for a gauge-face install, which requires you to remove the gauge cluster, and includes complete instructions:http://www.miata.net/garage/gaugefaces.html
Remove the dash cover. There is 2 screws in the top of the glove box. Then on the drivers side to the center is about 4 or 5. Remove the dash cover and you have access to the back of the instrument panel. The light sockets turn 1/4 turn to come out.
take off the upper 3-4 screws on dash/gauge panel (attaching to dashpad from below), remove panel, remove press clips holding gauge lenses to gauges (optional), then remove the four - five mounting bolts holding gauge assembly, replace bulbs which are accessed on the rear of the gauge assembly, replace in reverse. good luck.
It's either the speedometer gear in the tranny, the speedo cable that runs to the gauge, or the gauge itself in your dash. Either way it'll be a pain. The way I check is to remove the gauge in the dash and move the truck, if the cable spins ok, then you know it's the gauge. Best of luck.
In order to remove the dash face plate on a 1999 Nissan Quest, you need to put on the parking brake, shift into a lower, open the ash tray, and remove it. Next, you will need a Phillips screwdriver to take out the screws on the back of the radio, release all the trigger mechanisms attached to the stereo, and then use the screwdriver to remove the mounting bracket.
