Default help removing a guage cluster bezel

basically im trying to remove the outer trim bezel piece. whatever you want to call it. i know there are 2 screws up top and there are 2 of somethin on the bottom. i need to know if there just clips that pull out or they are screws also? and if so, how in hell are you suppose to get to them?

There is only screws on the top of the bezel. The bottam snaps in. Lower your steering wheels as much as possible and i grab the bottam with both hands and pull. It helps with not breaking the plastic if your pulling is spread out over the bottam of the bezel.

Now that you know there isnt any screws on the bottam you can put some more force into pulling it out.

EGs have a third screw at the clock as mentioned and there are clips by the vents in the center on the bottom. Those are a pain to bend back or get off to get the bezel out. Good luck.
