You have 4 screws, 2 on top and 2 under the panel, just remove them and take out the panel and slowly unscrew all your connections and MARK THEM as to know where to place them back
That should do it

The only "gauges" that are in the panel is the ammeter and the speedometer. The fuel level gauge is integral with the fuel tank and does not come out with the panel.
