HELP: Gauge cluster pixel repair

So by now you guys may know I'm slowly bringing my x5 back from the dead. One thing that is very irritating is the pixels on the gauge cluster. I did some basic research and found that sometimes the ribbon gets lifted from where it attaches and therefore the pixels go out. There are some videos on YouTube but they only show once the cluster is all apart.

I think I can get the cluster out of the car, couple of screws and two or three electrical connections I'd imagine it will be out and on my kitchen table. This is where everything becomes fuzzy.

I'm looking for a good DIY on how to take the cluster apart. I've searched and haven't had much luck. If anyone has a good DIY, that would be awesome! I just really don't want to get half way thru the project and find out I don't have the necessary tools or what not.
