7.3 PCM Help

Hello all,

I got my Hydra chip the other day. Today i tried to get the PCM out, but the part in the engine bay where there is supposed to be a plastic box with one 10mm connector bolt, well my truck has 3 bolts vertically. I tried getting just the center one undone. I pulled the plastic case and metal bracket out from under the dash, but the PCM wont budge.
i try moving it to the right and pulling back. Nothing.


i have a 2000 f350, plow setup. Should i take all 3 bolts off? The pcm is loose when moved left and right, but it wont budge forward or back

Those are not the right ones. Look lower and closer to the fender should be one single large connector with a 10mm bolt in the middle.
