So a bulb is either blown out or loose on the fuel gauge side (Not a GT cluster) I removed the 6 screws that hold it together but as I try pulling it out it's stuck on something. I can problably pull about 3 inchs. I saw a few how-to videos on youtube and no one seems to have the same problem. I'm afraid if I force it I will break something. Anyone else encountered this same problem?

did you unhook the speedo cable from the back? it unscrews.

You gotta tilt it to get it out further. You can access the bulbs with speedo connected, the cable does need to be removed if you want to pull the unit out further though. They are pretty tough units, you can put some force on them.

Sometimes it helps to push up on the bottom side of the dash pad to get the cluster out.
