Hi NewB,
Just grab ahold of it with both hands at the top close to the clips and give it a sharp tug towards you/away from the engine. It should pop loose. Mine were kind of sticky so I adjusted the clips and lubed them with lithium grease, now they don't give me any more trouble.
If you can't get it loose with a tug, you can squeeze/spread the clips while you pry with a big screwdriver.
Good Luck

Thanks so much for your reply - Just a little grease, then a tug and the panel came right off - seemed too simple. Had already changed transmission fluid & filter, so now I can complete the 100 Hrs maintenance with the oil filter change.
