    Yeah I've taken my cluster out multiple times with that exact same steering wheel and with an Mtech 2 wheel and I've never taken the wheel off.

        Hey, we can tackle this together the next time we meet up. It's pretty easy just be patient.

            patience is a virtue which I'm learning to have. Will do.

                Where can the lights be bought? Any idea of the name / type / etc to look for? My lights work but they're so old I can barely see them. I've got the cluster out already so now's the time to do it!!

                    Easy? Would someone like to give me a list of what to do?

                    Thanks!
                    This is a tough learning curve, but gives good insight into BMW thinking. I have HUGE hands and have one hell of a time, but in my quest for the best I can do, I take ALL that shit apart: I pull all the bezels, the column cover, wheel, all that shit. Mine go together as flawlessly as I can. Plastic shrinks over 20 years.

                    Be careful pulling the instrument panel. The mounting tabs are very easy to break.

                    Closing SOON!
