No need to let it dry. Its not so liquidy ( im not even sure if thats a word. lol) that the fluid will come out. In the time it takes you to put it back together and drive it will have sealed.

theirs no real fluid pressure up there that I know of that could blow the sealant out. but in the future you should let rtv get tacky before you assemble and let it dry for an hour or two if possible before you start it up... not that I've always done that, only that you "should" hehe

it pops out. push on the sides inward. then push inward in to the counsol. U need firm but gentle pressure not to break the clips.
