It's not hard, as you can see by the pictures.  You might want to have 
some new illumination bulbs handy, since I bet a few are dead and this 
is a good time to replace them.  Having a small 12v power supply helps a 
lot.

Just don't mess with the fuel gauge "compensator" thing, I did and now 
I've lost 150k miles of being used to how much fuel I "really" have left!
