Once disconnected from the black plastic drain pipe you just work around the edge to pull it out carefully.
There's an inner section that is a fairly tight fit either side of the hole through the transmission tunnel to the exterior and a large flat plate that seals against the soundproofing layer on the cabin side.

Easier to get back in if you soften it in hot water first. Just pushes back basically with a bit of wiggling/adjustment to make sure it's properly seated.

Had mine out many times now. Once you get it out it's obvious how it fits back in.
Thanks Sauce. Job for the morning.
