1985 W126 300SD.

Before starting the tumbler removal I'd like to get that small plate that's goes around the ignition. It's part of the dash not part of the ignition assembly.

I know it pops out but I don't remember which side to pry on to keep it from breaking the plastic 'ears.'

It's item 44.

Does this pry off from the right side without breaking?
