To remove the instrument cluster from the Mercedes SLK, press the appropriate button to pull the steering wheel back and lower it for easier access to the instrument cluster. At this point, detach the cover located at the bottom of the instrument cluster to access the two screws underneath.

Once these are removed, you can extract the instrument cluster from its housing by disconnecting the connectors at the back. Once the cluster is removed, you can replace it with a new spare part.
