How to take out the Gauge Cluster

I have spent a few hours searching here and on other forums and cannot figure how to get the dash off to get to the instrument cluster. Can anyone shed some light?

I removed the screws I could find - but it still does not budge. I know there are clips in there somewhere, but I am afraid to pry too hard and started leaving marks. How do I get that sucker off?

Any help in me keeping the hair I have left would be great.....

Keep searching, I just saw a thread regarding this, all you have to do is remove some screws under the steering wheel, remove the plastic board or whatever you want to call it, remove the steering column and there's some more screws on the side where the door hinge is and just unscrew some more bolts that hold the cluster and I think there's like 4 or 5 connections on the gauge cluster. It's pretty straight forward. Sorry for not being more detailed.

THANK YOU ALL - success! I am going in for a fix on the Odometer not showing - and going to try and replace the burned out capacitor for 0.25 vs buy the new assembly for $350 - figure if I bust it - I can't break it any more than it is already...
