I am thinking about pulling my instrument cluster out of my restored dash in my 66 again. but I really don't want to drop the whole dash again. can you pull it out from the back.:beers:

Nope.
The cluster comes out from the rear and I'd guess pretty much impossible to remove all the screws with the dash in place.
Really, dropping the dash is easy...I dropped the dash/column in my '67 yesterday to fix a wiper switch, tighten the speedo bezel, and install a new front speaker.

My 66 shop manual says to drop the dash. I did it last summer, and it was easy compared to, say, a Fox Mustang.
