Sorry , mine is inaccessible at the moment, but it is indeed simply a case of pushing gently down a few mm, then pushing it either forwards or backwards, which releases it to pop back up and out.
I can't remember which way either, but it doesn't take any force to do it, so if you take it easy you should have no problems.

Yep, push down slightly and from the cabin, push away (Boot direction) when re-fitting
down and a gentle pull it will pop back in.
Should take little effort so unlikely to do any damage.
