First off welcome to the FTE!!!!

You will have to remove the 2 screws from the radio bezel-they are vertical right above the HVAC controls, then you can gently slip the whole bezel with the radio still installed out enough to remove the lighter cylinder.

Just a note; IF the socket is still "hot" and you don't use the lighter you can do as I did and get a shallow dual USB adaptor and simply plug it in and leave it there for charging your phone.....looks nice and factory installed really....

That depends on the model year of your vehicle, which should have been mentioned in your post and ideally, in a signature.
