You might need some form of hooks that fits into the crack around the cluster outer edge. Then you can pry them gently in there and find grip at the edge, one hook on each side and just pull the cluster out.
You might use a flat screwdriver also, but be careful with the dashboard padding as it dents really easy when applied pressure upon.
Might use something to put between to push against to prevent damage, then just pry it out on both sides until you find grip with your fingers and just pull it out.
You might have to take out the steering wheel, depending on what size it is. If it is a smaller type you might just need to pull it back.
When you get the hand behind the cluster you need to unscrew the speedowire and detatch the electrical contacts to get it fully out.
