KS Removing Instrument Cluster Help

Hey all, I am swapping the instrument cluster in my S5 to another one, as there are a few problems with my current one. I have a question about removal. I can get everything undone up until the speedo connection, but the other two connectors- the fat ones with the multiple prongs- I have no idea how to get off. Is there a trick that I'm missing, or do they just pull off and I'm not applying enough force? Thank you in advance for your responses.

I don't know if the S5 is the same as the S4 in this regard, but if they are round connectors there is a tab in the center that pushes straight up (or is it straight down) then they slide off quite easily. I wiggled mine for a while before figuring this out.
