Should not be a problem. There are several phillips screws that go from the instrument cluster up through the dash. A couple phillips in the center part of the upper console and I think three phillips on the side above the glove box. There are also 2 that come from the top down near the center small phillips, need a short driver for them. It should just slide right out then. It is possible that windshield sealer got on it and stuck it in some. The pad is held to the metal part of the dash and has a strip of Fender caulk or strip caulk to prevent squeaks. You can get the caulk at your Home Depot or Lowe's. While you have it out clean some of the dust and dirt out.
I don't have any pictures that I know of but if you still have issue don't force anything. I will get some pictures if you still have an issue.
