I tried everything to get it off - it was really stuck. Even after I got home and sprayed some penetrating oil it would not budge. The design is actually very bad - all they have done is buried a nut with a circular disc (dumb) on it into the plastic. Would have been much better if it was not circular since this does not give it any grip in the plastic once it breaks free.
I think the only time I'd gone in there was when the car was new (2003) to check it out. Lesson learned, must verify these things every so often.
