I followed your advice !
Of course it takes 5 more minutes for opening that shield but working from the inside gave me the security I was looking for. I didn't want/dare pulling blindly on the stock diffuser and ending up with a broken tab or a damaged diffuser. By doing that it took me 15 minutes all together but without any brute force. Just gentle traction while pulling down the tabs from the inside with a screw driver.
