It turns out that there is clear adhesive on the underside of the lens, and it then sits down in the front of the faceplate rather than being attached to the underside of the faceplate. I used a very small flat screwdriver to pry the lens from the adhesive, which worked like a charm. My replacement lens also included new adhesive, which I used to mount the new lens to the faceplate. Overall, it was a pretty easy process, just be careful to not be too forceful as there are some small plastic tabs and very thin plastic pieces on the faceplate involved with this that you don't want to break.
So to replace the 8300 lens do you actually need to open the unit or can you pry it off from the front?
