I am wondering how to remove all the pieces that cover the gague cluster. I have removed all the screws that i can see, but the big problem I am having now is that I cannot get the black piece behind the steering wheel (it has the rear defrost button, 4 ways etc.) off. It is getting stuck on the steering wheel piece and wont come off. Any info would be great.

Remove the steering column cover, and adjust it fully downward. It’s still a bit tight, but just be carefull.
