That seems like that would be the difficult part. It seems to be inside the plastic vent surround. I may be wrong here but no one has an answer on that.
Cannot comment with any intelligence since I have not done it.

But, there might be a possibility of removing the actuator rod after the pod has been released from the bracket. You'll have quite a bit of movement at that point, and, maybe, you'll get lucky and can pop it off. Getting it back on might be a hopeless task, however.
