The only recommendation that i have is that you pull evenly. If you pull evenly and dont put stress on just one side of the the plastic wont break. Just remember pull evenly towards yourself.

^ +1. Pull harder, and evenly. Make sure you got all the screws.

^+2!

Those spring clips are particularly stubborn. The first time I took it apart I feared I was going to break something. Like lucasarg & Lynchberg said, pull evenly and hard. Try to grip it as close to the clips as you can so you don't overstress the bezel (trim), and break something.
