Instrument Cluster Removal Questions?

One or some of the illumination bulbs are burned out at the lower portion of the instrument cluster (the area of the muti-information display such as temperature, odometer, time, etc). I did a search here and learned that you can simply get the cluster out by pushing it from behind through the speaker opening at the top left of the dash (US model). My question is how do you remove the plastic speaker grill because I am afraid to break it if I am not doing it right.

Since I am going to have the cluster out, I am planning to change all the bulbs so does anyone know how many are there?

Thanks, Garry

You can use the MB combi Hooks to remove the cluster or remove the Under dash panel and Push out the combi..
Very easy!
