How to remove instrumnt cluster.

Well im tackeling this to clean out my instrument cluster, i removed all bolts in the from but it seems something is still holding it in. any hidden bolts? will get under the dash later today with a light ad see whats holding it in..

well first you get a really big hammer and start wacking away--

ya know -it would help if we knew what year and model car you are working on --or just try the hammer thingie--

hehehe 1962 ford galaxie.......

Speedometer Cable and the electrical plug in the back...

ok so i should have everything just ready great.... will pull it out and clean the ground contact points , polish it and repaint it.

am i missing something here --what ground contact points-- if i remember right it grounds thru the screws that hold it in---i might warn ya--theres a million wires back there and every one of them is hooked to that dash pod- plus the speedometor cable--its been a long time since iv been into a 62 so im speaking from a 66 and 67 galaxie perspective-- -- hey gary --does he need to drop the stearing colum on a 62??

got it out. it was just a bit corroded. but i got it out. gonna clean the contact points where the bulbs go seems theres a bit of corrosion. and gonna clean up the whole cluster and make it look nice

And if you repaint it clean the paint off a couple of the screw holes, down inside so you aren't wondering why the dash lights don't work like I did! lol

lol got you shotrod.. For now im just cleaning it as i like the old look of the cluster, just cleaning it up and fixing the clock.

Good luck with the clock part. I have seen 3 of them from a 62 and they all are shot. The only way to make it work is to switch it to quartz.
