Hi guys.

Was just wondering if there is a way of removing the clocks/dials out of the dash without having to remove the steering wheel?

No steering wheel has to come off, need a torx t50 bit for that also something to mark where the wheel is before you take it off

Can be done, there's a guide somewhere but it looks more ball ache than taking the wheel off lol.

As said make sure you disconnect the battery for 5 or 10 minutes before disconnecting the airbag

Remove plastic shrouds off,of ignition column,then undo 3 13mm bolts under the column then drop the column down easy.

Just be careful you don`t scratch the clear plastic in front of the clocks,as said though can be done.

To my knowledge(correct me if i`m wrong)the 1`s you`ve listed are the only 1`s you can fit maybe Citroen AX clocks will fit.You can change the faces of the clocks with a Lockwood kit.:drink:
