Work your way around heating and prying until the lens separates from the housing.
Careful you don’t apply too much heat.
Putting it back together can be a pain to line up, so take your time.
Around the outside of the lens you’ll see some black glue. Carefully heat it and push a flat blade screwdriver in.

If you get hung up, there are some tips in this thread:

And while the thread mentions oven heating, I too have used a heat gun every time I've opened mine.
