u should only have to pull your main trim off the dash and the take the cover off under the steering wheel by your knees and if u have a metal plate behind it take that off as well. if u have tilt steering just put it in the down position but if not take the 2 bolts off that hold the whole steering colum up and let if hang. then just undo the few screws holding it down to the dash and pull it out a iittle so u can reach behind the cluster and undo the speedo cable. feel for the plastic clip. u just have to squeeze it and pull the cluster forwarrd and it should pop out. now u can unplug the other clips on the back of the cluster. thats all i had to do at least. hope this helps a little

Is that the same for a 3rd gen ranger as well?
