Its just a retention clip you just have to muscle it out bend to one side and twist as our pulling it. It is aggrivating

Just pull but if you cant get it to pull out then youll have to get the retaining clip off. Just dont break your housing.

If you pull straight down, it should pop right out. You do have to pull fairly hard.
