give it a good turn, it will come lose, u can go either way

try using a rag to grip it better, i actually got fed up and used a screw driver on the lips, and gave some taps with a hammer. came out eventually

I think there's DIY thread somewhere....

But, IIRC, there are two removeable vent pieces that will pull up and out of the way to allow access. The top piece has a push-pin locking device that you have to pull back first.
