Default How to remove Cig plug?

Ok gents... so after I realized I didnt have enough of the fake carbon fiber vinyl crap for my splitter... I decided to do the center console. Ive got it off but I cant seem to figure out how to completely remove the cigarette lighter?

Not the actual cigarette lighter... but the one thats inside the compartment under the center arm rest.

Heres a photo... any help is GREAT!

I ended up just breaking that little black tab off at the top of your picture and then forcing it out that way. not the best way, granted, but after trying to get it out for an hour..it just wasn't worth messing with it anymore.

Well gents, the cigarette plug was def a PITA but I got it out.... heres the center console now. You will need a lot of patience and an extra set of hands to make this job a lot easier.
