i just purchased a SI cluster for my DX, but when i go to detach the upper right hand side screw of the cluster "cover" thingy, it just keeps spinning. I went to Kragen, and the guy there told me to get some luberacant, and spray it up there, and it should slip right out, but it just keeps spinning. The screw isnt stripped or anything, can someone give me some suggestions on getting this thing out? Thanks

 

maybe the screw is off already. Hold the top with two hand and yank it out. Ohh yeah, there's two clip on the bottom. Remove that first and slow yank the top out. good luck

 

i know the cluster itself has four, but the black outter frame this isnt coming out. Ill give that yank a try though, hopefully i wont break anything!

It takes a good yank if you have all the screws out, that's what we had to do to mine to get that damn thing out. Once you get past that, it's a walk in the park. Just be careful.

 

yeah im scared im gonna break it

 

lmao... we had a horrible time getting my homies gauge cluster out of his 2-5 coup, we got so many peoples suggestions it was funnny stuff lmao

 

Just give pressure (pull the cluster) while you unscrew. It should come out.

 

the damn screw keeps spinning but the frame thing is friggin stuck in there, i swear, i tug and tug, but nothing comes out, its driving me nuts!!!

 

So the screw where the cluster attaches to the plastic bracket free spins?

 

try to break it but slowly..and get a new cover..

 

One of the two screws in the top of the bezel is stripped?

 

push up from the bottom as you pull out.

 

get some needle nose plyers or something of that sort to pull out that screw. or just give the cluster some play left to right wobbles it worked for me
ek to si cluster swap
