Instrument cluster removal tool

[Deer Slayer]

I found it difficult to insert a small screw driver into the dash slot. So I took one small cheep screwdriver and reformed it ( that bend to Ya'll Yankees ) to fit under the wind scren. Have fun.

Have fun. :cheers:

OR

I don't like to damage or mis-use tools so I bent a small nail and put it in a pair of needle nose vice-grip pliers ...........just a thought .....Mike :thumbup:

My solution, though I lift the safety card cover first:

Rats, I thought I improved the tool. :dontknow:

Thanks. I always unscrewed the windshield. That's a time saver...

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

YES THAT IS EASIER ...............BUT

Thanks. I always unscrewed the windshield. That's a time saver...[/QUOTE
However, if you accidently mis-thread, or cross-thread one or more of those bolts ......to fix that problem is enormously EXPENSIVE and very time consuming ....................if you have some time check a parts fiche' to see what's involved .........just sayin......Mike :thumbup:

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

I'm not understanding.
Are you suggesting that its better to use a bent screwdriver to remove a screw, rather than remove parts as they were designed to ?

I think you have a better chance of properly removing the windshield and using a regular screwdriver to remove the dash screws.
A home-made bent screw driver will more likely strip the heads of the screws.

:hun:....Dear ThreeWheels ...My post #7 has nothing to do with SCREWDRIVERS .......and since you have an RT ...we are not discussing your or anyone's RT instrument cluster......................Mike :thumbup:

a short ( very short ) flat blade jewellers screwdriver is by far the best. Nothing to remove and no damage done. Align it in the holes and press and pry, then the othe side. had mine out numerous times fro electrical add on's and such. Very easy and cheap. Good luck.

I agree with you. The delivered wind screen was very close to the holes in the dash, thus the bent tool. I now have the BRP 23 inch screen and any old small screw driver will work as there is lots of space. I really like the screen too. :yes:

Dash

Sorry mate, RS-S has no screws. Just two slots to use a small screw driver to press down the out. You must have something else.:dontknow:

 

[cptjam]

Ahhhh

4 screws to remove the windshield. Then a flat tip to remove the cluster. I should have been clearer. I did one 3 days ago.
