I figured out I could do this by removing the panel below the steering column and reaching up in there to get to the retaining clip, a lot easier than how I'd been doing it before.
Yeah after taking apart the whole front of the cluster i realized you could easily access the bulbs by removing the plate under the steering column. But there still wasn't enough room for me to get sandpaper in there and try scraping away the rust on the metal plate that the bulb pushes against. The bulbs do work fine though.
