If all U want to do is replace the Gauge it can be accessed from backside under the Dashboard. Held in place with 2 Screws. Unhook the wiring Terminals from Gauge and remove. If You want to remove the entire Assembly there are Nuts threaded onto Studs around the Perimeter under the Dashboard accessed from the back. Gauges and Speedo can be replaced without removing the entire Assembly. Just a friendly Suggestion. Get a Shop Manual or the Computer CD offered by One of the Members on this Site. A Wealth of Information.

The CD is a Copy of the Shop Manual. Just looking at my Shop Manual. Page 256 shows the backside of Dash Unit. Shows the 2 Screws to be removed to replace the Gauge. The Speedo removal is explained but not the Fuel Gauge.
