i use a coat hanger. bend the end of the wire with a pliers to make a very small "L" - maybe 1/8". the slip it in between the dash and panel and turn it a quarter turn so the "L" will engage the little lip on the side of the panel. gently pull the panel out.. usually working one side out a little will allow the whole thing to pull out pretty easily. if it's never been out, it might be a little "sticky" . be patient and careful as always.
