If you got the 4 bolts out from it man it takes a long ext to get back there. There is a tin really tin washer that holds it in place. Just really pull like hell and it will come out after you get those 4 bolts out. Dont worry you dont use are have to get a new tin washer. But it is a bitch to pull it out. really I just did this a month are so back to get my KOOKS on the car....If you want to call me 931-528-1999 just ask for me...Robert
