How to Remove the Instrument Cluster from the Dashboard

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Dashboard

Removing the instrument cluster from the dashboard is a seemingly simple task, but it must be done carefully to avoid damage. Use a screwdriver, but preferably a plastic tool to avoid scratching the interior plastics. Pry in the designated notches to release the retaining clips of the instrument assembly. With force but also great caution, pull the entire instrument block outward while being mindful of the connected wires. Disconnect both rear connections to free the instruments, then remove the instruments. To reinstall, follow the same steps in reverse.
