Taking gauge cluster out

[Diesel_Fan]

i am wanting to know how to take the gauge cluster out of my 06 F250. i am wanting to clean the inside side of the lens because its real dirty. any tips would be appreciated.

most trucks i have worked on, the trim piece around the cluster pops right off, there may be a screw or two holding it tight right by the cluster. once that is off, there is probably 4 screws holding the cluster to the dash.
