I uninstalled my OE armrest recently. One tip for disassembly (and likely assembly) is to open the armrest prior to releasing the spring. It removes any tension on the spring and it makes unclipping the spring both easy and less violent.

I did this about a month ago and I love it. Hardest part was shoving the spring back down....Afraid it was going to snap but eventually got it done. I think it goes well with other alcantara in the center plus it looks good with silverstone

No, it just snaps in place or slides in place if I remember correctly. I think it slides in place. If you look at the underside of the piece you will be able to see if it slides or snaps.

It has been a long time since I did this...however, when I did mine, I swapped out the leather arm rest at the same time. I don't remember if I had the armrest off when I changed the carbon fiber piece or not. I do remember there are a few clips on the CF piece and I think you can pry up one side with a plastic trim removal tool and slide it off.
