Paul,
This link contains information on how to remove the instrument panel,http://202tech.mkosonen.com/howtos.html.
Once you have it out you will have to split the panel to clean the needles and stops, the paint becomes tacky and the needles stick to the stops.
Time for complete job, about 40mins with the right tools.
