I'm assuming you have a '92 coupe as your sig says.

First, disconnect the negative battery cable. I didn't disconnect mine when I removed my gauges but you should to be on the safe side.
Next, remove the steering wheel covers (the plastic pieces between the gauges and steering wheel). The top one pawls off, and the bottom one is held in place with screws, so remove the screws.
Once you have the steering wheel covers off, you will need to remove the whole instrument panel (the panel with the hazard light button, headlamp switch, etc.). There is a screw upsidedown which is just above the gauges that is holding the panel in place, remove the screw.
Next is the hardest part, lower the steering wheel and remove the instrument panel. You might have to use some force to take the instrument panel out, not to mention there is very little space between the gauge and the steering wheel. Don't forget to disconnect the harnesses off the instrument panel, there should be 2 of them. One on the left, and the other on the right.
Once that's done, just remove all screws that are holding the gauge in place. Pull the gauge out a little and disconnect the harnesses in back of the gauge. They can be a little hard to disconnect. Once the harness is disconnected, just take out the gauge. Thats it.

If I was wrong somewhere, someone please correct me.
