Pulling 67 Speedo
I read the two articles linked here describing how to get the instrument cluster in and out:

A couple of questions--do you have to pull the steering column to do this? I'd prefer not to, because mine's an AC car and I would have to futz with the ducting to take the column out. Plus it seems like a lot of extra work just to protect the steering column from scratches.
In my case, I'm not doing it for a gauge restoration--speedo works and my odometer just quit working, which bugs me. I tried the pulling down and turning the trip meter knob to get the drive gear re-engaged, but not luck. I just want the odo fixed, and truthfully my gauges look nice in their present condition. Lens are clear and cosmetically, the guage faces look good with just normal fading of the yellow zone in the tach. My column's not perfect, and I figure I can protect it sufficiently using painter's tape as needed, if protection is the primary reason to pull the steering column.
Second question: how do you (can you) remove just the speedo/odo when you get the cluster out away from the dash, so I can just send it out for repair?
Third question: I've seen the vendors in driveline--who's done one recently and who would you recommend? I'm in Dallas, and if anyone has a local recommendation that would be good too.
Thanks.
