I used two small screwdrivers. If you bend them out of shape you can gently bend them back. Just take your time. Its a pain in the *ss.

OK I got them off, in case someone is having trouble I used needle nose pliers and pinched each one from one corner at the base. Then pinch the other side. Thanks.

When you put all this back together be sure to bench test all the bulbs and the twist in sockets. It sucks to pull it all back out. Trust me.

Well I'm having trouble with the gauges. The lights work but the gauges don't. There is power in the pigtail but I don't think it's distributing it to the gauges. The printed circuit board is new I just got it in the mail. Have you heard of defected boards? Bought it from Mike's Monte's.
