i dont know about your clocks ( but i think they are the same )but here in the UK the clock has two small holes over the actual display, this is under the recess of the top edge of the illuminated display, all u have to do is pop in some circlip pliers( or two very thin screwdrivers ) and pull, u dont have to pry against the clock surround or dash surround,
BTW , its what the holes are there for, can u imagine ford messing around trying to get the clock out ?
