I took the phillips screw out.
Mine was a PITA to remove. Took me 45 minutes, I was afraid of breaking it.
You'll have to pull the passenger side of the harness down to about a 60º angle, til it feels like it's going to snap off, then slide it out. You may want to try to look in the left side while pulling down on the right side, stick a flat head in there to pry it out or loosen the clip holding it in.
Took me FOREVER... called SOCKS at least twice saying, "Are you sure this thing isn't going to break?"

Follow the advice of people here and you should get it. Its not too hard... now imagine me pulling the ECU ou of my parts car when the driver's side door doesn't open so I have to do some wierd positions on the driver's seat to get under the dash. Now thats fun. wink1.gif

Just remember, remove the screw that you don't need to, and HYPER extend that damed harness, you almost need it past perpendicular with the ECU to get the fangs out of the slot.
