I'm trying to remove the cluster so I can play around with the VSS but the hazard light switch is in my way.

If you can't loosen the bolts holding the steering column then try loosening off the bolts that hold the dash down |

Is your car at your place or work? If its at work I can swing past sometime tomorrow afternoon and undo them. |

Drop the bolts that hold column to crossmember, it should drop far enough to give dash clearances (If its same as my vit) |

Or just buy the right tool! (BTW the Calamari ring on the gearstick is past it's useby date. Throw it out.) |

Those bolts on the bottom of the column that are torx usually have a big flat head slot in them. That's how I've gotten them undone previously. |

i've removed my cluster a few times and never had to undo that... just a bit of "gentle" persuasion and it does get over that switch. |

You can find a allen key that will fit in the torx head bolt. Then when you get them out, use a hacksaw to put a slot across the top for a flat head screwdriver, or replace the bolts with something else. |
