The gauges sits on the rear side of the lens ass'y with screws. 8-10 screws,
then you lift out the gauges with print "board" and LED's as an ass'y. Also the
LED housing can be removed. Does the Bentley show this? If not, I'll scan my
book and send it to you, let me know.

I disassembled the complete cluster on my last Syncro, the DPO had tobacco
remains everywhere :-(( It all came apart, and back together again without any
prob.
