Pressed them off with a small screwdriver.
If you have one of those tools with the hook to pull the instrument cluster, it looks like the job would be easier as there are spots where you could get it under the module to help rock and pull it out. You could improvise with a piece of coat hanger wire but it is doable without, just hard on the fingers.

Thank you for doing that! I had tried to pull it out yesterday as I had a few minutes but I encountered pretty much everything you've mentioned here! I was thinking that the other module needed to come out before but I was having trouble getting it to budge. Well, all I can do is work with it until it comes loose and I'll report back.
