While I don't specifically remember how to remove the hatch cover, here's a
option you may haven't considered.

The aft cabin escape hatch is identical to the center main cabin hatch.  Our
main cabin hatch was quite crazed after 7 or 8 years.  Just swap the two to
have an almost new looking main hatch.  Then when that one finally needs
replacing have them do both at the same time.

Just a thought.
