'69 Cutlass instrument cluster connectors

Greetings, needing some guidance. I am in the middle of removing dash pad/lower plastic switch bezel on my '69 Cutlass. I have most everything
disconnected but when it came to unplugging the wire connectors @ back of gauges I find I am having trouble removing them.. It looks like they would just pull out
but after trying to do so they don't seem to budge. I don't want to damage anything so I didn't crank on them too hard. Are they secured by something else (that isn't readily apparent) ?
Many thanks for any input

They do just pull off, mine were very tight and the pins on the gauges were loose, so be careful or you'll be resoldering what you pull off

Thanks. Yup, they do pull off. Those suckers were on there tight. Was able to pull the dash off with the gauges attached. At that point it was easier to access the connectors &
placing a flat blade screw driver underneath the wire connector & gently prying upward released them. Thanks again.
