As the first step, you need to remove the three screws located at the top inside of the cluster. Now, using a plastic lever, lift the panel around the cluster to fully extract it. Be careful not to pull it too far before disconnecting the connectors at the back.

Now remove the upper part of the steering column to access the four screws indicated in the video. You can now easily extract the cluster by pulling it towards you and disconnecting the connectors at the back.

Reverse the steps for reassembly.
