It's out

What a PITA.

My son had to lay in the foot well and reach up to release the RH retaining clip. Once released the cluster slid out 'relatively' easily.

Looking at the back of the cluster it is clear that the LH clip had NEVER engaged properly and has deformed over time allowing me to ease the LH forward, but the RH clip was so tightly engaged it would not allow the cluster to move forward.

I'll add a pic or 2 later, just need to get the car back together before it gets dark.
