hmm....are you sure you got both bolts? I've never heard of this problem before...

sorry that wasn't much help, not sure what else to say..should only have to remove the two 10mm bolts, don't even have to disconnect any connectors..

the space is pretty tight -- be sure not to hurt and paint....remember: just wiggle and pull....maybe put more emphasis on the wiggling (but of course don't forget to pull too!)
