Don't forget remove the speedo cable--sometimes it gets replaced over the hydraulic system pressure hoses in the engine compartment, leaving too little room for removal (BTDT)

Mmmmf!
 
I'm getting peeved! I have an 84 5000s, and I want to yank the cluster so 
I can replace the bulb behind my digital clock! (Yeah yeah... its not 
exactly dire maintenance.) I yank off the steering wheel, remove the two 
screws holding the cluster it, and pull. I get it about 80% of the way 
out, but something is holding it back. I dont want to pull TOO hard, or I 
have a feeling the Audi Gods might whip a thunderbolt from above!
 
Is it just a matter of yanking on it? 
 
On my 1988 Audi 90, it just slid out, no problem.
