Default PCM removal tips?

Does anyone have a step by step procedure of how to pull the PCM? Pictures would be helpful also. I searched the tech section but didn't see anything related so thought I would turn here. Have decided to send the computer to Ed Wright and not wait anymore for my Powerloader reprogram.

So for those who have gone this route, please give me tips or point me in the right direction. Hope its not to difficult to remove myself.

Thanks in advance

You really need to remove the front right whee, the inner fender, and lower close-out panel. You then remove several small bolts holding the pcm in the car, as well as holding the harness in place.

Vague I know, but it should be obvious once you get the fender out.

Like y2khardtop said, once you get the panel off, it is right there and simple to remove. I had to remove mine to clean battery acid off it and it was cake to get out, just took forever to clean up the acid mess.
