OK, so I have my inst cluster booked in with Rick for a new display.

I started to remove the cluster following info found on here.
I have the cover out, the screw for the cluster out.

Tried to ease the cluster out, but it will only come forward a few mm!
Wiggling left/right as I pull.

Removed the cover under the steering wheel, above the driver's knees.
I can just about reach the cluster from underneath, but not able to move the cluster any more.

I now have the wood dash trim pulled out and can get a little bit more movement, but not enough to get the cluster out.

What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to be MORE aggressive with my pulling?

Any suggestions?

Steve
