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.

Thanks again guys. Looks like I won't be able to get to it until Tuesday. Glad I drive a work vehicle. even if it is a Chevrolet. 2007 Impala. It's ugly and kind of small but it sure is fast when the speedo says 140 it means it lol
