It twists off, but you will need a socket wrench to take it off...but I do not know what size socket that you will need. Then you have to pull it out with your fingers. If you have the S/C in the way, it is a P.I.T.A. but it does come out. Just be patient. :D

I just ordered one from eBay and it came a couple of days later and fits perfect.
