In reality I didn't have to take anything apart as I had just cut my elbow on the damn thing and was mad so I was going to replace it anyway. I just popped it from the side and it popped right out of the console. It appears to be held at the top by 2 pieces of plastic that fit into the side of the cupholder. These came right out and I removed the spring and was able to force it back into the indentations.
