Default torque tube Help

I am having trouble removing my torque tube. I have an 05 manual car. I have the tranny and rear out already. I have removed the bolts that hold it to the bell housing and slid it back 1". I went ahead and removed the two bolts that attach the slave cylinder to the torque tube but it just wont come out. Am I missing Something??? the shifter is already removed.

Rotate the tube clockwise as you are looking at it from the rear. When you get it to about the 2 oclock position you will see the rear wiring harness tucked into the tabs of the torque tube. Just pop it out with a long prybar and the tube will come right out.

Have you popped the entire main harness out of the tabs on the torque tube? Its pretty big and runs the entire length of the tube from front to back. Also, on the top pass side is where the harness comes down from the motor and often hangs up on the top corner of the tube. Other than the slave and shifter which you seemed to have addressed, nothing is left that would hang it up.
