How? Do you have an older model? The entire feeder sits on the metal bowl and to remove it requires that I lift up the entire feeder.

The beta model and the production model are both quite easy to remove with a small amount of pressure. The production model takes a bit more work but not much.

This video is from when I had the beta feeder but the same principle applies: https://youtu.be/YHq1xHL8p2o
