BTW noticed that (~25lbs-2.6lbs =27lbs) S/B (~25lbs subtract another 2.6lbs = 27lbs of weight shed). I confused myself looking at that math so I thought I would clarify it.
Glad to see you got it. I used my fingers to pop it off. Wedging then under the edge and slowly applying pressure. You can also use a weeding fork wrapped with electrical tape to protect the plastic if you need to. Just take your time and get an angle on it so that it doesn't damage the plastic or the painted surface.
