i dont want to put too much force on it for fear of breaking a good one..

These are very solid pieces of plastic. You would be unfortunate to do any damage. I just give them a sharp tug. Worst case is you may break
1 or 2 of the trim clips and these can be replaced easily.

When mine came off i just pulled them off and a couple of the clips broke. The trim piece was fine.

Well I managed to break mine very easily, no trouble at all. Seriously though, you pull up at one end using both hands but its easy to find you are pulling out sideways and then its too late. I even watched a YouTube video of how to do it and still broke it. However, the other side came out ok. Oh, and I didn't break any clips which apparently everyone else does. Just one of those days.

From memory I pull up with two hands from underneath.

Yep, exactly that. But in getting your hands under it, its hard not to bend it outwards whilst pulling up. Bit of a knack to it I think.
