How to disassemble dash cluster and ABS problems

Good evening, I am a proud recent owner of a 6th gen maxima. I would like for someone to please direct me to how properly disassemble the dash cluster? My gas gauge recently went haywire and I need to put it back to normal. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated! Also the dash lights of ABS, slip, Brake, and TCS are constantly on. Any ideas? My thoughts were that the Abs control module was out and needed replaced?

No need to disassemble, just use a strong magnet, you can bring it back the opposite direction to where it belongs...

Who would have thought

A strong magnet, I never would have thought of that. Good reply.

Really? I never would have thought... Have you tried this in the past?

Yep, got the car back from the dealership after the alternator and battery were replaced, and spotted the gauge flipped all the way over as soon as I got home. I read about it here a long time ago, tried it and was done in 2 minutes. I used a magnet I had taken out of an old Hard drive, but any decent magnet will do, just don't scratch the plastic cover.
