Cant remove gauges

I wanted to put in some gauge rings and I have everything out but, I cant pull out the dash. Ive snapped out the majority of the clips I think because it moves alot, but it still wont budge. Can anyone help me out or tell me where the clips are.

what exactly do you have out

need to remove lower plastic piece by your knees
then metal brace
then 4 screws removing top steering wheel column trim
then take out the dimmer security switches
make sure wheel is tilted all the way down too
then 2 screws around top trim
that has clips along the bottom just put your fingers in the holes for the dimmer switches
pop it out then 3 screws for gauges

defintely make sure the three screws (one top, two lower) are out, then it will almost fall out on its own. Then disconnect the three wire harnesses on the back of the cluster.

after you have them all out, make sure you don't break/crack the clear plastic cover that protects the guages, like I did

Right now, I'm just living with it. You can get a replacement at the dealership for like $15
