Mike, Believe it or not, it is as simple as just removing those two screws. But as a fellow club member and I found one afternoon, it can appear to be much more difficult. Near the front of the panel, there are two male "nubs" that slide into receptacles on either side of the panel. On some cars, these things are really fused together. The answer to just use more (gentle!) force. You can probably lift the back of the panel up high enough to pry something underneath. Just be careful not to gouge that expensive clock or bend the panel. After thinking we were stupid for almost an hour, one hard pull was all it took to remove it.
