I believe you need to first remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the gauge cluster (2 tabs) that come from the center console (I also actually remove the 4 screws of center console to allow more play), next remove 2 screws on the sides of the cluster, lastly remove the 2 screws at the top of cluster. You should now be able to wiggle it out.
I agree an AIM really helps, but if you are waiting on it to come, the above instructions should help.
