I don't think you can remove them independantly. If you look in the last pic in the dash removal, you can see how the three gauges share the one green circuit board. All you have to do from there is remove the screws that hold that on and they should come out.

Yeah I was wondering that too... If you do get it open, let me know if you can re-do the gauges with white faces.

You just have to take the steering column panels off.

The bottom has 4 screws (release the steering column adjuster to get to the 4th screw)

Remove the plastic Ring on the Key-slot and pull the bottom panel off

Now you can see the bolts holding the top panel (and the Combination Meters) Don't remember how many, but you'll know when you see it. Think it was four of them.

To remove it, you have to push the Steering wheel all the way down so that the panel will clear the dash. Lift up and unplug the meter.

Simple, should just take you few minutes to do.

Oh, now I get it. I have never heard the SPEEDOMETER and the TACHMOMETER called a "gauge cluster" before.
