A bit late for the OP but this may help others.
I just did mine yesterday to send to Rick.
I ran into the same issue with the outboard clip not wanting to release.
I solved the problem by using a long hook tool.
I tilted the cluster up to make a gap at the bottom, slipped the tool in and rotated it so the hook was behind the cluster, then gave a pull and the cluster popped right out.

Here's the tool. It is also useful for releasing a stuck bonnet on an MGF.
