My cluster wouldn't tilt forward unless I was able to get the electrical connections and speedo cable loose. I could not get a hand up behind the cluster from below or from the 4wd opening. I could see up there but no way was there enough clear space to reach up. I had to remove some additional screws that held the front part of the cluster to the rear part in order to finally get the thing out without breaking anything. Even then I was only able to get it out far enough to get to the headlight switch and replace it. Turns out that wasn't the problem after all and all that effort was no more than an exercise of experience. Maybe some are put together with some extra wire or tabs have already been broken by previous owners but even reading the removal instructions word for word which are here on this site, the removal was not in any way as easy or worked as described for me.
