The only way I've been able to do it is to release and push them out from the back.

be careful reaching up there, theres a lot of sharp metal near those buttons. I sliced a vein open in my hand trying to reach up there. Wouldn't stop bleeding for 2 days!

I removed mine from the back. Installed my bass **** there too. I don't recall slicing my hand open though... The hardest part was getting the circuit board that the potentiometer is mounted on to squeeze into the back of the dash panel. Removed the outer housing of the control ****, obviously, and then had to shave down the board on both sides. Works great.

EDIT: You revived a thread from 6 years ago to say that??
