Man, I have been wanting to remove my 987.1 cluster for as long as I've had my car to clean some smudges off the center LCD display. But for the life of me, I could not figure out how to get it out. This video shows me what I need to know. It looks like a bit of a PITA but now I know what to do the next time I want to tackle it. Thanks!
+@jeremypringle5368 yeah I couldn’t find anything great on how to do it either but we got it figured out and documented now! 🍻
Sharp looking personalized instrument gage face package !
+@warrenlucier5796 thanks brother! 😎🍻
Hm maybe that's what the 5.5mm socket is for - gauge clip removal? :) Looks good!
+@miketdavies hahaha maybe!
ya, some of what happens in the first few minutes is not necessary. i know, because i put a new gauge face on my 987.1 a few years ago and the only hard part was getting that lower trim piece off so as to expose those two screws. it wasn't easy...
i you dig on the net porsche forums enough you'll probably find others that also had major issues getting that lower trim piece off. IIRC there is actually special porsche tool that even the dealerhip services departments can use, but doesn't always help.
i eventually wrapped an old t-shirt around two sets of vice-grips, squeezed that lower trim piece on each end and pulled with all my might...and it came off. i actually had to push IN real hard and then immediately OUT. anyway...if you can find one or a pic of that trim piece that's NOT mounted, i suggest you do, as it is then clear as to how it is attached and what needs to be done to get it off. it's not intuitive, at least it wasn't for me.
the binnacle does NOT need to come off although you may think it does.
i found that i could GENTLY AND CAREFULLY pry the needle collars (the ones that hold the face to the motherboard) out from the front, thus avoiding its removal. i just didn't want to go digging into a near two-decade old circuit board that probably isn't even made anymore, if you know what i mean. but armed with the information in this video, i might have attempted it.
+@bladerunner6282 it MAY not be necessary but it’s easy and makes the getting that tough trim piece off WAY easier 😉
call me chicken. looks really hard not to break something.
+@DarkTouch not as bad as I feared. Just be more careful than me with the plastic clips securing the circuit board 😆
