They're all easy to remove. The problem might occur, though, when you
look at the gauges and see they need some work, like new seals or even
some paint touch-ups. You should probably replace at least the seals
that keep the chrome bezel from biting into the dash. Then you might
look at the harness and see some work needed too. Removal and
replacement is quite easy though.
