How To Remove Serpentine Belt Shroud on 2008 E320 BlueTec

I'm having trouble removing the serpentine belt shroud on my 2008 E320 BlueTec so that I can replace the serpentine belt which broke. I've looked at several videos online that show shrouds that are different from mine or show the shroud already removed. I've taken the top two bolts out. It looks like the bottom of the shroud has a pin the fits into a socket and that I should be able to lift it out of the hole. I can't pull it out without risking breaking it. I have attached a photo showing the shroud with the top of the shroud pulled forward showing the backside of the shroud and what looks like a pin molded into the shroud. How does this come out?
