Hi All, again. On a 65 Malibu dash bezel, other than disconnecting the speedo cable, are there any other little tricks I should be aware of to replace the bezel? Looking for any hints based on experience you may have had. Trying to save time and aggravation. Thanks, as always. Bob

Yes you need to drop the steering column down, the two bolts under the dash it allows the bezel to slide straight out.just removed my two cluster out of my cars last week to check the clocks. chevy

Thanks for the reply...I ended up tackling the job, and you are right. I also learned that you can "center' the column by using the bolts. I kept a diagram of the bulb locations and wire colors going to the instrument panel. I found it really helped out when I put everything back in. Thanks again, Bobalouie
