Below the steering column is black cover panel that must be removed first - it is retained by two plastic locking screws accessed from directly below the panel. Once that's removed there are two long bolt headed screws holding the dash cover panel on - one on each side of the steering column. Then remove the small phillips head screws located in the top of the dash cover panel (above the gauges) - four of them I think. Lastly, remove the bezel around the cigarette lighter. At that point you should be able to remove the dash cover panel completely. From there you'll have easy access to all of the gauges.
