To remove just the front cover that swings open, you stick your hand in it and pull in a downward motion abruptly.

I'm not kidding, the manual basically states to give it a good reef to pull the ashtray out.

I'm using the manual available in weedahoe's signature.

and yes it says to put your hand in, and pull sharply in a downwards motion to remove it.

it'll sound like it breaks....but it doesn't. I've removed mine a couple of times.
