there are 2 white clips, 2 big round ones and the speedo cable, release the speedo cable clip in the engine bay, that will give you more room to pull the cluster out. its a pain, did it 2 days ago.

I reached up from under the dash to remove the speedo cable, the rest can be done by turning the cluster semi-sideways in the dash, there is a white clip connector on each side and the 2 big rounds ones centered behind the tach and speedo, there are little clips you press down on to release it, tug it a bit, they can fit tight.
