Default Speedometer removal from housing

Trying to get my 81 speedometer removed from the housing to get it upgraded. I have the clear and black cover removed, and the three 1/4 screws removed from the front of the speedometer but it doesn't seem to want to come out. Is there something on the back side that needs to be removed to get it out of the housing?
I have not removed the flex board from the rear, is there anything under it keeping it from coming out of the housing?

Thanks,

Is the speedo cable still connected?

Got it, it was just stuck in the housing. Took so coaxing once all the screws are removed. Should have mentioned in the original post I had it out on the bench so yes the cable was unhooked. Thanks for the replies.
