LOL......what'd the service manual tell you? to get the cluster out remove the top fasteners (you've already done so, tilt the cluster forward to you, those 2 pins seat into 2 horizontal recesses, the backside of the recess is curved shaped the same as the pins ,pull upwards (vertical) on the cluster to release the pins.

I've never removed a cluster on 1995 CSC. I've removed many of the early model clusters and never had an issue. Is all gauge cluster trim removed? Sometimes tilting the steering wheel all the way down is needed for clearance. It shouldn't be too hard to remove especially with the bolts removed. I wouldn't tug too hard in fear of breaking something. I would carefully pull on it in a few different directions and hopefully you will feel it move. I would think there is a white/black peg that comes up through the hole that didn't have the screw so the cluster is centered. If so you'll need to get clearance on that first, then I'm thinking it must rotate along on those lower pegs you circled. Then pull out. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But just take your time with it. If it's been in there 30 years it might just be a little stuck.

1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Is there some "secret" to getting the gauge cluster out?? I bought this replacement but can't get the original (which looks identical) out. I got the 2 screws out (top left/right) but see no other screws. Do you pry out the 2 things circled in blue??? Do you just tug and twist (already scraped up the knuckles!).

@jiggity76 This might be something you know about -
1995 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. I took the 2 7mm screws outta the top of the cluster. But it won't come out. I don't see any screws on the bottom !?!?

Ended up being a bad fuel pump as a result of a plugged return line, which also killed the fpr, thanks though everyone!

Which engines are compatible for my 1991 Z34 lumina
55trucker replied to Anthonydav07's topic in General
My suggestion to you is to do all you can to stay with a replacement LQ1, if you choose to do otherwise you'll have to deal with the electronic side of the issue. For '91 the trans behind the LQ1 is the 4t60-e, now that may not seem to be much of a concern but the ECM in the car is programmed for the LQ1 & the 4t60-e. You look to drop in another engine of choice & now you have to reprogamme the ECM to accommodate that replacement engine. The mem-cal inside the ECM housing is specific to the LQ1 for that year & that trans. -

Thank you so much for the help -
Which engines are compatible for my 1991 Z34 lumina
jiggity76 replied to Anthonydav07's topic in General
If you care about originality and how the motor looks to be correct for a 1991 LQ1 car, you would want to stay within the 91-92 model year. You can use a 93 motor as well but the dipstick and tube is the only part that is a lot of work to swap over. 1991-1992 Lumina Z34, (standard with the LQ1). 1992 Lumina Euro 3.4, (standard with the LQ1). 1991-1992 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, (standard with the LQ1). SE, GT, STE trim, (when optioned with the LQ1). 1991-1992 Cutlass Supreme coupe or sedan, (when optioned with the LQ1). ANY W body that has an X in the 8th place of the VIN will have the LQ1. Now...if you don't care about how correct the motor looks in the engine bay, you can go outside the 91-93 year range. The 94-95 motors will work but you would have to do some swapping over of parts to make it look correct. Some things are easy, some are not. The 96-97 LQ1's are dramatically different in appearance and functionality/engineering. They will get you more power but again, lots of internal and mechanical differences. These motors are also interference compared to the NON interference motors from 91-95. If you have any other questions, please ask us or you can PM me personally as I've gone in depth with these motors during my cars restoration efforts. -

Do a search on car-part.com for an engine for your 1991 Z34 Lumina. The search results will include years and models of vehicles with engines that are compatible with your Lumina.

My engine recently blew up, and I can’t find any engines for the car and I’m very stuck. I’ve done research but I can’t find anything so I thought I’d ask you guys for help. I need to know what cars have compatible engines. thanks

How to lower a W-Body ( Gen 1, Gen 1.5 )
SuperBuick replied to 19Cutlass94's topic in Brakes/Suspension/Steering/Wheels/Tires
Old post but I think that was me circa 2001. Heres my coilovers after I pulled them from the car back when I was in college. They were terrible and I pulled them off forthwith. -
Gut the cat? That's really something anyone is going to find acceptable? Damn.

92 Olds cs convertible driver side door handle
RayS replied to RayS's topic in Cutlass Supreme Convertible
Was replacing driver side door handle and door got closed before new one was attached. Now can't get door opened using inside handle and have tried pulling the outside rod using a wire but to no avail. How do I get the door open. Do I need to remove inside door panel to access some release mechanism? -

Rear Right Brake Caliper from GM on back order on first generation REGAL’s without sport suspensions.
Nas Escobar replied to 89-W-Body-Regal's topic in Brakes/Suspension/Steering/Wheels/Tires
I've had 2 89s, a 93 and a 94 W body, I've used 2001 Luminas for parts... 88-93 use the "bad rear calipers" and have vacuum and abs issues galore (remember the PM3?) 94-96 (97 for the Cutlass Supreme) have the "upgraded" rear calipers. Mid 95, they upgraded the front rotors by making them an inch larger. The caliper and bracket is the same on the 88-96 1G and 95-99 Monte Carlo/ 95-01 Lumina but the strut perch isn't. The 95 brake upgrade modified the mounting point for the caliper on the perch (it's moved outward a bit). Boosters were also settled by 94 I think . The interesting thing about all this really is that GM downgraded the rear brakes on the Lumina towards the end of the run but also that GM built the Lumina for 2 years for fleet only sales. -
Hearing loss is obviously not great! And your condition of Meniere’s is unfortunate indeed. I’m sure you’ve looked at things to help. Are you aware the alpha lipoid acid supplements will help help to protect the hearing in the case of Meniere’s? I wish you the best with this.
-
Ah, thanks for clarifying. I'm sure you said it right, I misunderstand things a lot. That makes sense that your brain will become accustomed to not having to work as hard to process sound with the hearing aid. Right now, I still have one good ear, but my dad was hard of hearing as well so I expect I may end up in the same boat.
-
Ok! I guess I screwed that up! Not what I was trying to say. My hearing without hearing aids was bad, but at least I could carry on a conversation with my wife at the table. Now even though my audio gram has not change much at all in 11 years of wearing hearing aids I now have a very hard time hearing her standing next to me, unless I have the aids in! This is what I mean by the aids make your brain lazy when it comes to hearing without the aids. To my point don’t get hearing aids until you have no other choice.
