Is there any way to remove the instrument cluster without removing the dash pad on a 63 t bird. I'm trying to get at the turn signal flasher.

Yes, the cluster can be removed as a unit.
Woops. I was thinking of 64-66... no, I don't think you can remove but one gauge at a time.

Thanks for your help guys. Not what I wanted to hear, but at leas it will save me from trying to accomplish the impossible.
Thanks, I appreciate the "Best Answer" check off. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
I didn't see how he did it but when I took my 63 to the electrical shop I saw both dials/ instruments hanging out of the dash as if it had been done in one go??

the dash is one of those places you don't wanna go unless your a good mechanic and getting paid to do it. my heater core blew and they said replacing it is an 8 to 13 hour job. and that from a certified mechanic shop. I just bypassed the heater core.Thank god I live in L.A. where its tolerable not having a heater.
