I don't know if this applies to your telephone, but on a lot of them the mouthpiece is fitted with a locking bayonet fixing.
Look for a small hole in the side of the mouthpiece, on the side pointing towards the earpiece. Put a small tool in there and press to release the catch, hold the tool in, then turn the mouthpiece anticlockwise and it will come off.

I seem to remember my old mentor showing me the "easy " way to release the lock- use one side of a pair of long nosed pliers ( AKA in PO terms 81's).
