1 bolt holds it, in the rest are clips, just pull it out, be careful not to break them though

Remove the screw underneath, then put both hands on top and give it a firm push towards you. It will come off, but requires sometimes serious pulling to get it loose.

Make sure you do it straight though or youll break its mount.
