CDR Removal Question

I was trying to take my CDR off and clean it. I removed the two bolts and then tried to pull it off. It did not want to come off. My question is, do I need to just pull harder or is there something else I need to undo. Thanks for the help guys. One more thing When I was trying to pull it off I could feel a tube that ran underneath it to the engine. It felt like it had a crack in it don't kno for sure because I couldn't see it. Any advise would be appreciated.

Sounds like the grommet is as hard as a rock and once you get it out will probably need replacing. Might try a little wd-40 sprayed on the grommet.

The grommet goes in between the cdr and the engine correct.

Went out this morning didn't have time to really try to take it off, but I reached under it and I almost positive the tube underneath it is cracked feels like about 1/2" crack. It also feels like there is some kind of clamp on the CDR side of the tube NOT the valley pan side. Does anyone now where I can get and what part number the tube and grommets are thanks for the help

The clamp should be holding the extension tube on the CDR.

A bit of lubrication on the grommet should help the tube slide out.

Not sure if the grommet is available seperately.
Ford or International for the extension tube.
