Experiences Removing Gauge Cluster? (1997 Rav4)

Has anyone had any experience removing the gauge cluster from a 1997 Rav4?

My odometer is stuck at 197,999 and I have a feeling a gear is broken or stuck and I need to remove the gauge cluster to fix it. With previous cars it’s been very easy to remove without removing anything else surrounding it.

The only videos I have seen of people removing the gauge cluster, they take the whole steering column off! It’s so many extra steps, I’m worried I will manage to mess it all up and have to take it to a mechanic anyway.

Any tips or ways anyone has found to jump over removing anything else?
