ECU removal

I bought a spare ECU for my 1995 Maxima and I was going to send my own ECU to JWT and put in this spare ECU in it's place. Could someone please post a link or directions on how to replace the existing ECU? I know that there's a lot of screws or bolts holding it in place. I just don't want to miss anything.

Thanks for any help.

Anish, its just the one bolt on the passenger side for the connector (I think 10mm).
Unhook that, then there's four screws (philips head) that you need to undo on all four corners of the ECU.
All of them are generally a b!tch - you'll need a L-shaped philips head tool, which I have if you wanna borrow it

I know it's hard to describe, but can you tell me where these 2 bolts are?

My ECU must mount a little different than a Maxima's. It took me maybe 10 minutes to take out. Two 10mm bolts in the rear holding the bracket to the car. Remove them and cut a few factory zip ties and the whole thing comes right out. Then remove the mounting bracket from the ECU.
