Default Guage install help

Really quick question:
I am in the process of installing some white faced guages. I removed those 4 7mm bolts that hold the guage cluster into the dash. Now that I removed them its not coming out like I thought it would. I know that there is a self releasing electrical connection but its not releasing for me. I am afraid that if I pull it hard enough something is going to brake. Any tips on how to get this damn thing out? Is it safe to just pull like hell? Thanks.

Yeah, I was a little apprehensive when I took mine out, but it just took a firm tug.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I installed some of Nates LED bulbs in the cluster as well. Yeah I will get some pics up as soon as I finish up my car.
