just be careful with it i guess.
ive pulled the cluster apart to fit dials a few times and snapped nothing. Lift each clip just enough one by one till it all pulls apart |

Kinda easy..get a fork to take the needles out and then the dials pop right out. The clear plastic has 2 scres and a few clips. the cluster itself is held onto the dash with 5 screws.
Do you know how to get the facia off? |

They just go back on. Dont push to hard or it will hit the dials. I tried this when i got my mond and i broke the cluster so be extra careful!
