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....
