Cig lighter cover removal

Does anyone know how to remove the cigarette lighter cover for painting? The one that flips down with a spring on driverside dash.

i thin you have to take the radio bezel off to get to a set of pins/screws and a spring clip. im going to my local scrap yard on Tuesday or Wedensday i can pull a dash apart and double check.

You should be able to carefully push inboard on the hinge arms and remove it. There was a spring attached on the left hand side of that door on my 97.

I've been wondering the same thing for the entire time I've owned this truck. Got most of the dash pieces painted that I want except this one
