    I used a hammer and nail to break the top of the bubble, then carefully pried out the pieces.

    Shouldn't be that hard to get out; chip away at it. I replaced mine a while ago and I am glad that I did.

    Thanks all. I figured it would be easy. Like from underneath or something. I figured wrong hahaha. I will chip that old thing out as soon as I get the replacment.
