Default Remove Air Cleaner Insert?

I got a good deal on a V-Wing Air Cleaner insert cover. I'll be putting it on the stock oval air cleaner cover on my '05. I assume i need to remove the trim ring insert first? How do I do that without damage to the insert or cover? Thanks!

No, it just goes right over the stock cover as is. All you do is put the v-wing cover on and use the screw that comes with it to replace the stock screw that holds the football cover on.

Thanks Steve! It kind of looked like it might need to come off to get the new one to sit flush. Glad to hear it's easier than I thought!
