i've got the cluster out of the car,but i can't get the trip meter thingy out,coz i want to paint the inside of the cluster.

should just be able to remove a few screws.. keep playing around with it, i removed mine a while back, cant remember what i did.

i got the cluster out o.k but i can't get the little black pin out,supposedly,it just pulls out,but it won't, i've tried unscewing it too...aaaahhhhh!!!

i have no idea.. hehe good luck
