Thanks for the response.

Yep. unscrew those 2 little guys and easily pull it out. Make sure you don't acidentily knock of a wire in the process. Also, make sure the clip on the input stays in the same direction when tightening, and do not bend it. A little tephlon tape before you tighten the nut to ensure a tight fit fit that won't re-loosen.
