Instrumental cluster

Hey guys
So I tried to pull out the instrumental cluster to switch out a bunch of defective bulbs. 10 screws on the outer and the two clips on the bottom right next to the brake light and his twin brother on the other side. The right side popped off way but the left was stuck in. It felt like it was tugging so I let it go. Any tips to help with the removal? I almost pulled the dash off lol. Kinda frustrated earlier lol. 84 camaro just in case.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate it!

Did you remove the speedo cable from the rear of the cluster?

I tried. No wiggle room. My fingers won't fit. Unless there's another way

You'll have to remove the cable from the cluster. Info in the following link may be helpful:
