Need Help Removing Computer
Trying to get the computer out to send off for a tune. Removed the two side screws from the brackets and the two screws that mount the harnesses to the computer but can't get the computer to budge. Need some quick advice/help. Thanks in advance.

I just pulled mine out and had the same problem. Try tapping with a rubber hammer while pulling it straight out. You will probably see some fine dirt start falling while you are tapping on it. It should come out. Mines a nassau blue coupe also. Maybe it's the color.

I believe there is a 3rd screw that holds that "front" bracket on, that is located way on the aft side where you can hardly reach. Did you get that screw?
ALso, a lot of computers apparently get "stuck" to the back bracket. Some sort or corrosion or something seems to weld it pretty good. I actually broke my bracket while trying to get the computer out.
If that happens to you, be glad that the brackets are only $15-$20 at the dealer! I got a brand new bracket and life is good.
