I bought a new cigarette lighter assembly last month. The thing came in, and was in two parts... the electrical part and a clear plastic ring.

I was fiddling with it in my office to see how it would assemble (and the old one would disassemble) and I accidentally snapped it together in place (off the car in my hand).

Now I can't figure out how to separate the clear plastic bit from the electronic bit to install it or remove the old one!

Anyone tackled this seemingly easy project? If so, could you give me a clue as to how to separate them without breaking anything?
