I don't have any pix but the best way is removing everything in it's way. Surround and Steering wheel. Then you work it out by lifting the bottom of it first. Manuever it by don't pull it out w/ brute force... I believe the buzzer is on the left side.

its not that hard of a thing to deal with while the steering wheel is in n such, unless you have gigantic hands like i do, then it becomes a pain of disconnecting the switches
just be careful and dont break the plastic....they become brittle over time

-Remove steering wheel and plastic column surround.
-Remove switch surround- there are two screws on the bottom (you'll see four screws but two of them-the outers, IIRC, are for the switches, not the surround) and three screws in the hood area (look upwards from the steering column and you'll see them).
-Unplug the switchgear and remove the unit.
-Now you'll see the four screws-two on either side- that hold the gauge cluster in place.
The cluster has two large gang plugs going into the back that must be unclipped as well as the speedo cable.
I usually unplug the speedo cable from the tranny and slide it out to allow the slack needed to pull the gauges out far enough to undo the cable from the cluster's back.
Others don't seem to find this necessary but it only takes a second and makes reinsertion of the cable very simple also, so I do it.
