How do you remove the tachometer from the Smart?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Instrument cluster

In order to disassemble the tachometer of the Smart, a flat screwdriver must be used to pry into the groove that divides the panel with the button of the four arrows from the rest of the dashboard. Once this panel has been lifted, it will be necessary to disconnect the connectors at the rear and remove it: under the panel there will be three torx screws that secure the tachometer inside its housing. By unscrewing these screws and disconnecting the connector, the tachometer can be completely removed from its housing, so that it can be replaced with a new spare part.
