HELP!!!! How to remove PCM from fenderwell
Hey guys,
I have limited time, and would like to remove my PCM from the fenderwell to clean the acid off of it. I can see that it is screwed onto the frame (already have the wheelwell cover out) but the rear screws look extremely hard to remove, is there an easier way to get it out that I'm not seeing? I need to remove it to check all of the wiring behind it for corrosion and such.... Thanks guys!

remove the sensor on the bracket that holds the PCM, then remove both the very back bolt (might need a light and a mirror to see where it is, then "feel" our way onto the bolt head and remove, then remove the closest bolt and the bracket will fall away. To remove the PCM, you need to pull towards you as it is on a "slide" type notch on both sides... if you try to take one side out or you will break the plastic holder that the PCM slides on......

Ok so I gave up on it the other day. I got the throttle actuation module off the side of the PCM and found it to still be extremely firmly mounted in the plastic bracket... I can see the little 7mm bolts that hold the plastic bracket on but they're unreachable with the computer on there..... help? I guess I still don't understand how it comes out of the plastic bracket. Thanks guys for your patience!
