You can use a long thin pick tool in the hole. there are a set of tabs, one on each side and you pry each one down i believe to release each side. the top of the cluster is held in by a snap tab: you just pull forward once the sides are released.

There's a whole lot more very useful info on the DVD than just cluster removal.
