Default Removing Upper Console/Gauge Bezel?

When I got my car it was missing the two lenses for the battery/lights/check engine/seatbelt lights. I took the screws out of the trim piece but it did not seem to want to come out. What am I missing or is there a trick to removing it?

If you go this link.. click on supporting document. Then go to page 4 and start reading it will take you step by step on how to remove the center dash bezel. This bezel must come out to replace the lens in side.

The center bezel has screws that hold it to the shift console and if you don't remove these you'll break the shift console. It's also a good time to replace both as well as the center bezel lens... they are kind of a pain to get in and out.
