Chip Install ?

Searched the boards, and only found a pic of where the ecu is at.
Now, how do I get it out to install my Diablo chip. I unclipped the black c clip and the ecu will wiggle a little by will not come out.
Do I have to remove anything? Unbolt anything?

Thanks

1. disconnect battery 2. Behind the battery under the hood you will see a giant wiring harness.It has about 60 wires running into a grey clip with 1 (10 MM bolt) running into your computer inside the firewall. 3. Loosen it and unplug the grey harness which is under your hood from the computer. 4. go inside truck and pop the black clip that holds your computer in place. 5. Then pull and the computer will come right out .6.
before you install that chip you need to clean the contacts with a razor blade or a small screw driver.

A set of small eyeglass screwdrivers and rubbing alcohol works great. Just don't go crazy when you get down to the metal contacts. You want them CLEAN but no thinner than necessary so your chip fits snugly. Make sure you tape the chip to the box before re-installing the box so it doesn't vibrate
