Default removing drivers side air vent/cup holder

Just as the title states; is there a EASY way to remove the drivers side cup holder/air vent to replace as as the slider that moves the air vent left and right broke off on mine and needs to be replaced. Thanks Matt.

This thread has some pics that should help. Apparently, you have to remove the lower dash cover to get to a screw holding the assembly in the dash...
