Hi, need to change the temperature guage on a 1987 defender, do i need to remove the entire front of the instrument panel or can i gently ease the old guage out with a flat blade screwdriver and then push the new one in?

You need to take the whole binnacle off because they are held in place with a "u" shaped bracket and a knurled nut.

Its not a big job only 4 screws holding the binnacle on, would be a good idea tho to undo your speedo cable at the gearbox to avoid stretching and breaking it.
