1.)I removed the front dash,now all thats left is the plastic piece(dash trim)*I think thats what its called*, that surrounds the radio and guage. I removed three bolts but the dash trim is still snugged in really well and Im scared to pry it off for it might break,how can I remove this?
2.)There are 3 wires and I am not sure which to unplug,one is on top of the guage,1 is on the right side over the mileage meter, and the last is behind the left center air vent.Which do I unplug?
3.) I see screws that hold the guage in place,I am worried that when I remove this will it reset everything?? I was also wondering,since everything is almost removed would it be a good time to purchase a guage bezel dash trim?

It's not that hard to remove I just need little tips to help me along the way.I appreciate all your guys help. I also tried to put some photos on here, how the heck do you do it?I clicked insert image but it asks for a url.

it has some clips in it that will take a little bit of force to pull out
be careful not to bend the plastic too much as it will bend

What year is your car? If you have a 00+ you have to worry about the theft lock in your radio when you start un plugging shit. The radio/ hvac bezel should just be held in with retainer clips around the radio. If your scared just use a flat head screw driver and pop em out. Then just disconnect your cig lighter and dimmer switch then the whole unit should just pull away. I've stripped these cars apart more times than i wish i have had to.
