Found a pretty good video tutorial on another site:

Just click through the entire sequence; it's pretty well done.

You don't mention if you have a tile backslash. If so will that be coming off or staying? If staying then first cut the caulk line between the tile and counter top. Lift the counter top gently and try to pull towards you at same time. Be prepared to have replacement tile available if you should crack one or two....and you probably will.
