ive been following the helms manual to do it.. removed the steering wheel, bottom trim of the steering column, tried to remove the top, and its stuck on something so i cant. unscrewed the outer trim of the cluster, and the top clip screws.. but like.. here's where i need help really bad. for some reason the the bottom part of the outer trim of the cluster is still stuck in, therefore, i cant reach the bottom screws to get cluster out. i dont know if i have to remove this trim but, the bottom trim under the outer cluster trim is like stuck in and there's no screws to pull that piece out.. help?

alright i ended up finding out what to do, i reached up behind the panel i couldn't remove and on each side was a large knurled nut i had to undo by hand and it pops off. but now im at the back of the cluster and the cables won't come off, is there a certain way to pull them off..? what do i do? help please...?


edit:
nevermind.. agh, i finally got the cluster in i got out of a different bmw at a junk yard. and that one doesn't work either.. any suggestions?
