Remove the seats and lie on your back on the floor is
a must to get the gauges out.
I'd also suggest getting nuts that are about 1' or
more long as this makes it a hell of a lot easier to
thread them on to the bolts to put the gauges back.
Nyloc nuts are a definate no no - if you can somehow
tighten them up, you will never get them off again.
Also, I found that the steering column brackets need
to go in AFTER the gauges are bolted back in.
In case you are wondering, gauges was one of the jobs
that I really hated when reassembling my car after it
was painted. Car had to give a lot of love back to
make up for that day.
