While the ranger was here, he showed me the easiest method for removing the chunk of nosecone to expose the two lugs.
Using a trusty "multi-tool" (a/k/a hotel room key in my case), insert it along the bottom edge between clips and use it to get leverage on the bottom. Pry up slightly to pull out the bottom edge, then using your hand pull out on the bottom until you can pull down and remove the cone piece. You can then see the lugs -- positive covered with a red cap, ground exposed.
See the pictorial -- and yes, I know my car is filthy. I haven't been able to wash it yet.
To re-attach, insert the top edge then snap the bottom in, reversing the steps...
