Default Removing Speedometer from housing

Guys need your help. I have the speed/tach removed from the car, romoved the lense/cover from the front, and the front three screws that hold the speedometer to the housing but it doesn't seem to want to come out. Is there any tricks to getting it out after removing the front three screws or do I just need to a little harder?

Thanks,

Turn The Blue Side Up. There Are 3 Self Tapping Screws In The Back That Have To Come Out. Then Lense And Head Will Separate.

Default Got it

Thanks for the responses, what I found was there was cork/rubber on the back that had it stuck to the housing. What I did notice there was two holes in the back of the blue housing that did not have any screws/bolts in there. My question is when I reassemble should there be bolts/screws in the back along with the three screws in the front?
