Default HELP with removing top caddy!

Please excuse me in advance for my stupidity. I'm sure this should be a lot easier than what I'm making of it. I'm hooking up the battery harness for my Gerbing heated gear and I can't figure out how to remove the top caddy on top of the battery. I do have the instructions, but I haven't figured it out yet. It appears to be free from everything, but the hold down bracket. I can't seem to disengage it. The last thing I want to do is force it and break something. Id appreciate help/input. I tried uploading a pic via my iphone, but it wouldn't take. Thank you.
Dave

Pop out ECM, undo bolt securing caddy, unsnap and pull caddy up and out. You may have to finagle it by some wiring conduit that is snugly around it.

I cut the zip ties freeing up the wiring a bit. Still attached to the hold down bracket. You say "unsnap" the caddy. Where are you referring to?

It can be a little bit of a pain in the a$$. You have to push down on the front & push to the front. If you get a flash light & look down there you can see the hooks.

Still fussing with it...does not want to come out. A friend of mine will be here shortly to help me with this. I guess my neuron(no, I didn't forget to add an "s") isn't working today Thanks for the responses. I'll let you know the outcome.

Friend came and got it out. All hooked up now. Now I just need the snow to go away so that I can get back to riding- in warmth! Thanks for the responses.
