Don't do it yourself. Get his bum ass off the couch and help you. Or bring it up here this weekend and we can help out.

depending on the car, usually a new cluster requires pulling the dash apart a bit to get the old one out. Then getting the hookups in the back with very little slack in wires/cables.

You could do it, but its a PITA for anyone even if you've done it before.

HONDA CLUSTER = cake
there should be 2 screws above the cluster. Take those out and take off the cover. Then there are 4 screws in the actual cluster. 2 on top and 2 on bottom right corners. pull cluster out. pull cables off. put cables back into proper spots. Tach cable will be there already. then reverse and your done. total time 20mins for a begginer.
