Wow--new one for me! FWIW, the way I have removed my nosecone without tools is to feel along the bottom lip of the nosecone for where the flat plastic tabs sit, then press up firmly to release them. I usually start on the far right as I am facing the nose cone. With one of the right hand plastic tabs loose, I can then swing the top edge out of the clips. I then work my way along the bottom and top to release the clips and tabs.
You do want to be careful in how you manhandle the bottom edge of the nose cone. Unlike the top edge which has clips that can theoretically be replaced, the bottom edge has molded-in tabs with a sharp edge to retain the nose cone. If you wear down the edge or break off a tab, you are out of luck.
