Default Removing the air cleaner assembly

I am trying to remove the air cleaner assembly on my stock Z06. I have taken the
air duct off of the throttle body, released the air duct from the upper support
grommets and the AIR hose is loose, but I cannot figure out how to disconnect the
assembly at the front-bottom. The manual says "Release the air cleaner assembly
with the grommets from the grommet mounting studs". I can't figure out how!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just pry it up and off. You will see how to get it back on once you take it off for the first time. It is kinda tight. Don't lose the little rubber grommets.

I put a screw driver (between the hood and bumper) right where the air box and the car come together and it poped right off.
