Unless your 92 is different than my 91 manual, you just reach under and pop it off. I think its made a bit easier if you remoove the alternator cooling duct. It might be a little awkward, but by no means difficult. The clip on the right side (standing in front of the car) is a little difficult to reach with your hand, I just use a long flathead screwdriver and pop that baby off.

Do you have gorilla arms? ;)

Now go try again

Thanks Dave. I was confused because the bottom clip was a little different. I eventually used a flathead screwdriver and it worked fine. And "No" I don't have gorilla arms, but I do have hamhock fingers. :)
