ECU removal?

Is it just me, or them 4 little screws are IMPOSSIBLE to take off!!!!
How the French Connection United Kingdom do you get to them?

Anybody have any advice? Is it easier to take off the entire bracket holding up the ECU?
Any help is welcome.

Thx

Thats the only tool I found that worked to get it out. Since then I have had it out about 3 times and every time, its fast. When you re-install, only put in the front two screws. The rear two dont do much

Looks like a good tool. I got the offest screwdriver as suggested in the instructions...

Even with your tool, I can imagine taking the front two screws, but those two in the back? Forget about it hahah

All right.
Got the damn thing out... took a long time. threw that last screw on the passenger side away in the bush....
Then, I took my time to dfind that screw in the bush (another 2 hours) and then threw it even FURTHER away in the bush. That damn screw.
Alas, JWT ECU is in now. Felt the difference right away. I think that after I install the knock sensor, it will be even better.
Thanks matty
