Replacing the stalks in the cluster

Hi all...

I have recently gotten a set of replacement stalks for my 02 996 from Brian P of this forum, as one of the knobs broke off flush with the instrument binnacle.

I grabbed a set of new knobs from local Porsche Centre, so now armed with both the required items I want to install the new stalk.

I have searched and read up the various "how to remove the instrument clusters that are here and on Pelican's site, but cant see anything on how to actually replace the stalk in the cluster itself.

The removal of the cluster seems simple enough. Some screws, a few disconnects, a tab here and there and its out, but what then?

Anyone done this who can enlighten me before I pull my dash apart?

I've done this on my 996 and once you have the instument cluster off it's very easy to replace the stalks. Just a few screws in the instrument cluster on the back if I recall to take it further apart....and then you will be able to pull out the broken stalk and replace it. I think you will find that once you have the cluster off, you're pretty much home free.

I was hoping it would be something simple, but given that Porsche dotn sell the stalks, got me thinking there may have been something hidden there that required a million dollar tool or something.

Thanks

Nah its the clock knob stalk in the cluster itself, not a turn signal type on the steering wheel assembly.
