    Start prying with a very small screw driver from the bottom. Then use a little bigger screw driver and slowly keep prying. You will hear little cracks when the spot welds break free. Go SLOW. When you get all you can without bending the edges of the bezel you will need to make a cut at the top. This will let you pry form under the plastic frame without leaning on the metal bezel. Just keep working it SLOWLY. This is the first one i have attempted and it came off. Good luck. The pics might help. I was only allowed to upload 5 pics. I have 12.
