Default instrument lights

Drove the 92 for the first time in the dark and looks like there may be only one instrument panel light working. I took the fixings out along the top of the cluster and it is now loose all the way around the outside but still holding strong in the centre around the steering column.
I know I will have to give it a good tug but the usual hesitation due to brittle plastics. Anyone know where it might be holding on or if there is a technique, like lifting or pushing down etc.
Cheers

as long as you have all the screws out there should only be a couple metal clips along the bottom that holds it on.

Thanks CW, I'll have a go at pulling it straight back tomorrow, just seems to be tightest around the centre (steering column) I can ease it out all the way round with a bit of movement but nothing is giving in the centre.

once you get it moving it will be a bit easier. some people unlock the ignition and put it in 1st gear with the truck off to make getting the dash out once you got the clips out.
