Some additional details on removal: a thin screwdriver or knife can be inserted at one side of the square plastic panel that surrounds the clock, about 1/3 of the way up from the btm edge. Pry gently and that side will pop out, then the whole panel is easy to remove. The clock is not attached to this panel. Once the panel is off you can pull the clock straight out - don't try to twist it.
On cars I've done, the clock wiring is barely long enough to release the clock enough to get your fingers in there and disconnect the terminals. Once done (with appropriate cautions as others said), test the wiring to eliminate it as the source of the dead clock. You need a little voltmeter or a test light. Connect it between the Red and the Black wires and make sure there's 12V. If so, you do have a dead clock. If not check fuse No.8. If that's OK, then perhaps the wiring for the clock has become disconnected at the other end, repair of which requires either incredible dexterity under the dash, or removal of the instrument cluster - another relatively simple job. Get back to us on that.
