I feel what youre saying on the door lock, but that wont work either. with the key or pulling on the lock knob itself. I probably wouldnt need to remove the steering wheel to get that gauge out. I have about 5 years experience working on cars so I should be allright I just wanted to check for any pointers or problems to look forward to. I guess I will be taking out my sunroof and headliner as well. I was looking for an exscuse to get a new one. I heard that about the speedo but wanted to confirm it. I have gotten good feedback from this site so far thanks for the help
