It's pretty easy. Just remove the screws at top and bottom. You may need to loosen the heater/ac controls, but mine aren't currently installed. Then unscrew the speedometer cable -- this is perhaps the hardest part but no biggie. Then uncouple the wiring dodads and it's out.
You might want to drape a towel over the steering column to protect its paint and the finish on the cluster, but I've never had a problem.
Also, while it's out you might want to check the bulbs.
