you have to drop the wheel

take out the 5? bolt/screws that hold the cover that is below the steering wheel (the part that is above the knee area), once that is removed (actually it will hang, due to the hood release being attached, but that is ok)

remove the column cover (which is like 6 or 8 screws).. pop that apart

there are 2 14, or 12 mm bolts that hold the steering wheel upremove those and then the wheel and column should hang freely, it is held up by springs....just press down as hard as you need to to get the gap large enough to remove the gauge cover.

be sure to take out all the buttons (hazards, defrose, cruise...etc)shouldn't be a problem after that =)
