Hi

It wasn't difficult to remove but it's held in place by some round metal clips that can be opened with pliers.

I will do another video showing how to take off and replace soon

Please keep an eye out

Cheers

Tony

Most auto parts stores will sell the "Hog Clip" tool & "C" clips in a set for about $10. Easy to use.
