Instrument Cluster Removal

[notah]

Hi, new here. I have a 55 2nd series that I am installing an ez wire kit in. I am trying to remove the instrument cluster so I can wire it up but it doesn't want to come out. I have removed the 3 screws, the speedometer cable and the oil sending unit line. I can get it to move a little but after about a 1/4 inch it stops like it is catching on something. Did I miss something or is there a trick to getting it out?

Thanks.

If you care about the paint get some blue tape on all the surfaces next to the bezel. They are a very tight fit at the top, on mine I had to get a very thin screwdriver (same one I use for pulling wood trim) to get the top started out without damaging the bezel of dash. Once it gets out about 1/4" or so it will slide right out. The big red wires to the ammeter might hold it back too if they don't have any slack. The harness is in a clip just below the speedo cable connection. Undo that to get slack in the wires.

Thanks. I got it out.
