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.

If only I had one of them, tho' mine was a very 'snug' fit
