Is the removal of the tacho dial from a w124 a straight forward process, or does the steeering wheel/engine/gearbox, or rear 2/3rds of the car need to be removed first?
 
Straight forward, you can either push the cluster out from behind by removing the panel under the dash or get yourself a couple of cluster removal tools from ebay or you local dealer and pull the cluster out. No need to remove the steering wheel.

You will have to unscrew the speedo cable before you can completely remove it and the electrical connectors.

If you're looking to replace it because you think it's faulty, bear in mind that all sorts can prevent it from functioning. The tacho itself might be ok :crazy:
