  • How do u get the gauges out on 2000 camaro

    I was thinking of getting the white gauges for my car and ive tried to get the gauges out but i cant even get that piece of plastic that goes around the gauges off cause the steering wheel is in the way and im not taking off the steering wheel is there anyway to do this

    hmm. i drive a 93, and had no prblem getting mine out. i took off the radio panel, the under dash panel and the panel covering the guages. then it was just unbolting the assembly of the guages. and you also have to unbolt the HVAC controls and move them aside.

    oh and to get the panel covering the guages off you have to take off the A pillar panel and pop the dash up enough to get a socket under the dash to remove two of three bolts. but dashes are easy to break.

      Just gotta carefully wiggle around till it comes out. There is no textbook way to do it, its a real pain in the @ss to do.

        The plastic bezel is a bit of a biatch to get off. Put your steerign wheel all the way down and pull the bezel off as it holds wiht just plastic pieces and it will come out then wiggle it around the wheel. Take off the box on the back of the turn signal switch if you have to . It just pops off. After you get the bezel out of the way you will see the entire cluster very well. Ther are 4 bolts holding the gague cluster in plaace. 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, forgot what size bolt it is though. I wnat to say a 6mm. Take those out ad the cluster will just pull out as it just plugs into the dash. Then the clear plastic piece if I remember right just pops out of place using its tabs. Good luck with this procedure and be careful with the pieces.

          The 4 bezel screws are 8mm.

          And getting out a 97+ gauge cluster is way different that a 93-96 ;)

                    no, it easy.


                    you just have to pull, bend the top part some but its pretty strong.

                    It is breakable though ;)

                            Just be happy you are not replacing gauges outta a pre 97.

                            Pain in the @$$! you literally have to take the whole dash out. Little buy little.....
