Cheers mac, so basically level up and unplug?
Yep, just did this last week.

Get something with a thin edge ( flat-head screwdriver ) and lever it up and it should come out.

Be gentle

Try a trim removal tool.

You can get a multipack off amazon for cheap

Yeah don't use a screwdriver, at least not without a cloth around it.

They do come out pretty easily so a strong bit of plastic (half a credit card perhaps) should work.

I hate marks but I've learned to live with them and just enjoy the sweet sound of the straight six.
