Default Trouble removing EBCM Module

So I removed the six T-20 torx screws but I am not able to take the EBCM apart. It seems its stuck together pretty nice. Am I missing something more or is there a particular way to pull it apart ?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Insert a flat head screwdriver a very small amount between where the ebcm meets the bpmv at the top. Once inserted, turn the screw driver about 90 degrees in a way that pries the ebcm away from the bpmv. Do this at several points on the top seal. Then use two hands to pull the ebcm toward the passenger side of the car, away from the BPMV. This method worked for me. Be sure not to insert the screwdriver too much or you might damage the seal.

Fingers crossed.
