Hi all. Just want to double check before I start the work and potentially run into issues.

I need to change a crabtree screwless socket as it seems to sticking out from the wall.

I assumed there would be a slot to put in a small screwdriver to pop the faceplate off and then there would be a metal cage behind it which would be screwed in as normal.

However I can't see any obvious slots so I'm just checking in case I have anything wrong here. I did try googling but couldn't really find what I was after. Anybody know the makeup of these?
 
Just put a small screwdriver behind the plate and flick it off, try it from the bottom.

Turn the power off first just incase
