gauge replacement

I drive a 91 na and I just ordered some corksport gauges. Im a retard when it comes to cars. What would be the easiest/proper way to change them? Please help me if you can, and maybe some step by step instructions? Thanks

1. You remove guage cluster
2. disconnect the wires and speedo cable (have to have patience with the speedo cable)
3. once you have the gauge cluster out. unscrew the gauge cluster from the pastic trim.
4. install the guages carefully do not put to much stress on the needels.
5. put it back in reverse order.

I will take pictures once at home and post them on here step by step if you would like.

I painted my needels red before I did step 4.
Once I put the pics up it will easier for to show step by step.
I would be much help on the benzel since I have not done this to mine yet.
