Disassembling an instrument cluster

[Igglybob]

Hi,

I have a quick question. Has anyone here disassembled an instrument cluster (or, more specifically, an instrument cluster off a 1995 318ti)? I've been planning to take mine apart to do a couple of geeky modifications. I know that once you get the thing out, you can change the LEDs on the back directly (I've done this). However, my question is if anyone's gone further than that and has actually pulled the thing apart.

I read rumors in the past that the entire thing would fall apart and I wouldn't be able to reassemble it if I did that, but could never find any concrete evidence.

Anyone know?

If not... I guess I'll go for it and post my experiences later.

Thanks!
