take off the bottom part first. (2 )7mm screws, and it snaps out. the black paart where you will be mounting it has 2 hidden screws. one behind each of the peices of trim. i dont have a pic. after the screws are out, it snaps out too.

do you need a brace to hold it up, or does it just snap in though the hole, what keeps it from cracking the plastic from vibration and what holds it in place.

The gauge is very light in weight (all plastic) the clips will hold it securely if the mounting hole is not oversize. The clip are part of the gauge.
