The rubber caps on the end just pulled of on mine :thumb

Give them a wriggle and twist and the caps will pull off.

i pulled the knobs off but the arms still stop me from taking out the pannel the guages are in. Does anyone know how to get the leavers out?
Thanks,
Alex.

The arms won't stop the dash plate from coming out.

Have you taken out the four screws in the corners, be careful cause there is a special little clip on the end of each screw that always falls off and disapears down some deep crevice :D

Next reach your arm in under the dash and unscrew the speedo cable then (once you have removed the vent sliders, blue and red ones) the dash should pull out. If not your going to have to stick your head up under the dash and find out what's goin on. Maybe prev owners have glued the damn thing in!!

GOOD LUCK DUDE :thumb
