Default C5 ECM removal pics?

Anyone have pics of the Removal of the ECM for a C5? I am right there at the ECM but I am not sure what to do to get it out.

Please no search ****'s I did a search and I find a bunch of C6 removals but they are not showing me what I see.

I am working on a 99 C5 6spd.

Thanks!

remove the 7mm screw so you can pull the fender out further, one on bottom and one on aft edge/middle

there is a plastic bracket that the tac module is attached to, unscrew the 3 or 4 screws and the 2 plugs/both 7mm(red/blue)

most likely the aluminum pcm case will be bonded to the plastic bracket, break it? no worries, $10 from GM

need a tune? contact Slowhawk in MA

That was it!

It is out and it was bonded and the bracket broke! would you the part # or the correct name for the bracket?

I am getting it sent out to Chuck COW to get it tuned...this all started because of the Steering Column crap! Oh well, I will get it tuned too.

Thanks!
