It's difficult to get inside the gauges but to get in the back of the cluster is just a case of removing the plate. My local Tru Value has those acorn nuts...

The clocks are sealed so cleaning the glass in a major job. The bulbs can be replaced you have to dissasemble most of the rear of the clock mountings to get to them.
Most shops sell those little nuts. Have a look on the internet for a set of stainless steel ones.

..getting inside the guages is NOT a big deal ! ! Do a search for info about what you want to do. ie either cut them open or pry up the sealing ring. I doubt that your guage glass is dirty on the inside `cause as you will discover they`re pretty well sealed.

Yes, the gauge lens does tend to get dirty after a while. Only way to clean it is to either pry back the metal bezel on the front of the gauge (recommended) or to cut the plastic housing open. You don’t have to open the gauge to change the bulbs – they plug in from the outside.
