How to detatch Klipsch control pod?

I got the Klipsch 2.1 speakers on the recommendation of the Project Arcade book and  I love them, but I don't see how to detatch the control pod as suggested in the book. No obvious screws, and I fear breaking it if I just pry it off.

I have the 4.1 which IIRC has the same sort of pod as the 2.1. The metal "leg" is held onto the speaker by a single large screw in the bottom of the speaker.  The control pod slides into a slot on the bottom of the speaker. No screws. It slides from the back of the speaker towards the front. You may need to remove the leg in order to remove the control pod. It's a difficult chore. Those leg screws are extremely tight and I've stripped more than one of them.

A digital camera would be nice to have here. Unfortunately I don't own one.

I've got the stand removed and it still doesn't want to budge.

There are no screws.  The only way to remove the pod is to either break it, which you don't want to do. or to slide it along the groove in the bottom on the speaker.

It takes a considerable amount of force. In fact, it might be worth your while just to buy another satellite from Ebay. Consider the cost to benefit ratio.

Anyone actually do this with a Klipsch 2.1 speaker?

Okay, this finally worked. The pod does slide out backwards and, to my amazement, has no screws or clips holding it in place. It's just really tight. I found that emptying the speaker case and applying some inward pressure to the sides caused the bottom to bow outward enough to help release it.
