I have a 2003 Yukon Denali, and the stepper motor for my battery gauge has died. I would like to do the repair myself. Based on the research I've done so far, I'm leaning towards replacing all 7 stepper motors while I have the instrument cluster out. Not sure if I'll bother with the bulbs.

However, I have zero experience soldering/desoldering so far.
To get the hang of the skill before attempting the real repair, do you have recommendations for practice kits?

I actually have an unused Weller WLC100 iron that's been sitting in my garage for the past ~5-10 years.

I'm guessing I should also buy the following:

Any thoughts/guidance/tips are greatly appreciated.
