Dear ianagain,
Hope you're well. It is not necessary - on a 940 - to 'pull my dash apart to get to the instrument cluster".
The cluster is accessed as follows:
(a) use a flat-blade screwdriver with a tip 1/8" - 3/16" across the flat;
(b) insert the tip through one of the rectangular holes in either side of the black aluminum instrument cluster bezel
(c) press inward (toward the door or the center console) to release the spring clip, that retains the bezel (this may take several tries, so be not discouraged)
(d) remove the black aluminum bezel
(e) remove both T-25 screws, that secure the spring clips, which hold the bezel and remove the spring clips
(f) remove four T-20 screws, that secure the cluster to the support frame
(g) gently pull the cluster towards you: the wire bundle is stiff with age, so go gently.
(h) disengage each wire harness connector from the cluster's connector (no need to make notes, as the connectors are of different shapes/formats.
You can then put the cluster on the bench and work on it as you like.
Hope this helps.
Yours faithfully,
Spook
