well, as long as you undid the 2 bolts on the back and the one on top, all you have to do is unplug all the lights and pop it out. you may have to work around with it a bit, but it will come out. just make sure to be careful not to scratch any of your paint when it comes out!

one hint: when you put it back in, only put the 10mm bolt on top back on. makes things MUCH easier if you have to remove it for any reason in the future.
