That's all it's left before putting everything back together, luckily I have a 2nd car
The instrument cluster has to be removed.

This is what it says in section 8J-83 of the '04 Service Manual. Download and save this if you have not done it yet, I find the '04 manual easier to read than the '05 one as it has a better index.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Page 19-25.
3. Remove the lower instrument panel cover (2).
ZH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - SERVICE INFORMATION 8J - 83
4. Remove the instrument cluster bezel (1).
5. Remove the retaining screws from instrument cluster.
6. Move the instrument cluster toward the rear of the vehicle.
7. Unlock and disconnect the Instrument Cluster harness connectors
from the back of the instrument cluster.
8. Remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle.

The trickiest part maybe in removing the steering wheel and putting it back on in the correct position. But you will learn how to fix your car. When you do this take a picture of the area with the SKREEM in it, it will be a first in the forum.
You are doing good, at first I thought you were not up to the job, you have proved me wrong there.
