This really takes 10 minutes to replace cluster and none of the things described here needs to be done!
This.

But be careful not to gouge the dash panel on either side of the column when reinstalling the cluster bezel!!

I was so concerned with not scratching the top of the dash above the cluster, I totally murdered the dash panel that is below the buttons on the cluster bezel.

They are phillips plastic screws with a plastic ring around the center phillips part. I try to take them out with no luck. Please help
One of mine came out fine, the other did what you are explaining.

I had to drill through it and yank it out with a hook tool.
