It's just a press fit, although it can be rather tough to get out. It's
semicircular on the backside. Easiest is to put a flathead screwdriver
blade under the leading edge and try to lift it out. You can also try
tapping on the trailing edge with a light hammer & punch to see if the
front edge will lift up. I've done both.
