Here's the process from memory but you'll get the idea:

If you fold the visor down towards the windshield you will see the base where the arm rotates at the pillar. Looking up at the base you will see a "C" shaped slot where the arm pivots towards the window and back.

Rotate the visor down and in the center of that slot place the blade of a flat screwdriver. This small slot is perpendicular to the arc of the arm. While holding the screwdriver in the slot rotate the visor towards the window and allow the arm to press against the shaft of the screwdriver. As you rotate about 45 degrees you will feel the plastic base of the visor move to dislodge. At that point you can pull the visor arm out of the headliner.

Now just detach the base and move it on to the new visor and reverse the steps to put it back in.

Sure wish someone could do a pictorial on this some time. I've read direction many times still can't figure it out. The automatic shift boot and **** are other I can't get even though I've seen pic's of those.

This thread has some posts with instructions. Also check out Modshack's photos on keeping the visors off. I did the same and it look great.
