That guage isn't *too* bad, just takes a lot of twisting your hands into weird 
positions to get to some of the connections and screws  For any of the guages, 
it's a lot easier to pull the seat and lay down flat on the floorboards with 
your upper back kinda propped up so you can work in there.   Sadly, I don't 
have small hands and have to get XL gloves.  I know there is a Japanese 
engineer out there laughing his butt off thinking about that too!  :)

One suggestion too... once you have the gauges out, lube up those little 
mounting screws and wingnuts... you'll appreciate it on the NEXT time you dig 
under that dash! 

Good luck!
