replace plastic lever for remore trunk release

[Jvan]

The top of the plastic lever cover broke so that it can't hold the cable to release the trunk lock. I have an entire remote trunk/gas door unit and I had planned on replacing the entire unit. However, I think I can just remove the plastic lever from the new unit and install the old cable into the new lever. Does anyone know how to remove the plastic lever? Does it just snap onto the metal swing arm? I don't want to break the new plastic lever just trying to prying it w/knowing what I'm doing.
