Hi,
I m trying to pull apart this cluster,

So far I have removed the front glass , by twisting the cross tabs.

Now I m trying to remove the rear plastic cover but can't work out how. I have tried pressing 4 tabs on each socket with a small screw driver but that didn't work. Could someone please point me in the right direction
Thanks

I did use search before posting but didn't find an answer specific to my question. Anyways I have since found the answer on a pixel repair website.

U have to press tabs with a screw driver, and push outwards simultaneously

Thanks
