Pull hard, it'll come easy...
Unless it is different than mine, it just takes some effort to get it out without damging the paint.
All models with a gauge like that work the same way. Wires from the gauge go down through the tank via a special "tube", and exit the bottom of the tank. The wires then go to a small connector near the tank. You might have to take out the mounting bolts and lift the tank slightly in order to see the connector (4 pin, but only 3 wires).
Disconnect the connector.
You will have to remove the pins from the connector, it's not easy to describe, although a good description is in the service manual. Once you've removed the pins from the connector, you can simply pull the gauge up, pulling the wires through the tube. NOTE: before you remove the pins, you should make a diagram showing which wire went in which hole. As I said, it's a 4-pin connector with only 3 wires, make sure your diagram indicates the empty hole.

Sounds like you got it figured out but here's a write-up I did:
