Default how to remove body air valve?

How do these come out? I need to grab a new (to me) one anyway, and I'm about to spray color - want it out.

Think ya need to reach in behind it, to get it out.... If you don't care if it comes out in one piece, just grab, and yank.

So there is a trick to this thing. It has two hooks at the bottom, and has two small tabs at the top that you need to press down to get this thing out. I had to break one to figure it out. Dealer couldn't help me, had to pull it out of a jyard. Part number is 55036334, called a Door Exhauster.
