PCM removal
Ok I located the PCM by the emergency brake. I removed the two 7 mm bolts holding it on and I couldn't pull it out. Do you have to pull hard? I need to remove so I can retrieve the PCM code. Also should I disconnect the battery before removing the PCM or does it not matter? Thanks, John

The main plug has to be removed from the PCM which is on the opposite side of the firewall in the engine compartment. There is one bolt (8 or 10mm socket I believe) that holds the weather pack plug onto the PCM. That bolt has to be removed in order to pull the PCM.
Disconnecting the battery is fine.

The first time is always the hardest.
Once you get a tune installed I'm sure you will find the effort was worth it.
