[W126 Coupe] Instrument Cluster

[Ernie Stephens]

Thanks Frank, good stuff.
I have another issue going on that is similar but it involves a spider web in-between the lens and the cluster; is it possible to remove the lens without pulling out the entire cluster so that I can dust and remove that annoying spider web?

    Hi Dan,

    Short answer is yes.  Recommend you disconnect the battery.

    You will need the hook tool and your hand up behind to unseat each side of the IC.

    No problem doing what you suggest.

      Hi Guys

        I have read over the years the technique for removing the Instrument cluster,but I have inserted hard plastic sheet material around the perimeter of the unit and even have a flat hook tool,but cannot seem to budge it.
        Is it possible to remove the lower cover and put your hand up and push or lever from the inside,just a thought.

                                                                    Kind Regards Dan Gardner            1986  560SEC  Euro (220kw)
