It's scary, but you just firmly pull the unit straight down to remove it from the clamps. It took me a couple of tries and a few beads of sweat from worrying, but I did it.

Yeah, Just PULL! Let us know when you break it.
After you loosen the screws, you got to pull from back side. Not from the front side. It's tough for sure.
