    You need to be very careful. The plastic is hard and brittle after so long, so use a pair of needle-nose pliers and gently apply pressure until it rotates 90 degrees.

      Took me awhile and some blood and band aids but got it done. Plastic tabs were not rotating with screw.

      I am away from my computer, being lazy!

          Also helps to note which way you should rotate it so you aren't forcing or breaking anything. Look on the backside and apply some lubricant. It will be apparent which way you should turn it.
