Getting the Dash out wasn't hard .. direction on link above .. going slow and careful it took me a few hours on a weekend to do the whole thing and have it all back together again.
Yeah, getting the cluster out takes about 15 minutes. I probably took close to 2 hours doing the soldering, but I was frequently getting up to do other things.

It's possible to get the front of the dash open without dropping the steering wheel, but if you're not super careful you can crack it. I only loosened the bolts on my steering wheel and dropped it about an inch, rather than let it all the way down.
