if i could remember right, it was a pain in the ___ for me too, but i took a towel and covered the bulb and just pulled hard. but you have to twist the plastic thing to reveal the bulb pretty hard too. hope this helps

I am very well aware that instruction from the manual. I am looking for people who have ACTUALLY done it to provide soome tips.

It is not as easy as it looks until I tried it.
