Yes, you need to remove the gauges.

It is helpful to remove the steering wheel first.

Then remove all the gauges, the old dashpad, any chrome trim and 
screws. clips, etc, and the panic handle.

Install the new one panic handle first then install the three gauges, 
then the rest of the stuff.

I think the replacement pads are all made from molds made from old 
pads. The old pads have shrunk from age so are undersize to start 
with, plus the new pads shrink as soon as they come out of the mold 
and cool. Unfortunately the molds need to be oversize, but that would 
be hard, so they don't do it.
