Okay, these things have clothes-pin technology, but it has me baffled

I've got a 77 C-10. I need to replace the cigarette lighter element (it's been sparking/blowing fuses when using the cellphone charger) but am not sure how to remove the ashtray frame to get it out.

I don't want to just start prying and bend something. Are the ashtray hinges just dimpled to the dash so that some (limited) prying is used to get it out? Is there some other approach?

Thx!

Brian
