instrument gauges

Does anyone know how to get to the instrument gauges? I have an overlay that I want to apply. Can't seem to figure it out. I have the instrument cluster out, the green part of the back off, and now I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

Well do u have tilt steering? Cause if u do ittl make it sooo much easier. If u do slide the sterring wheel as low as it will go. And theres 2 little screws at the top of the gauge cluster so if u remove those the plastic piece should come out.

He said that he already has the cluster out.

Anyway, all you need to do is rotate the circular pins. It will "unlock" the actual cluster from the front of the housing. Check out this DIY and you will see what I mean:
