Removing ECU

What is the easiest way to remove the ECU. Having a very hard time and wasted around 3 hours wrestling with it.

There's a harness that you need to unbolt, and there's also an 8 or 10mm bolt on the harness itself that connects the ECU to the harness.

I took off the two 10mm bolts to the harness but it still wont budge. I removed three 8mm bolts, two in the front and one on the back. Is there another in the rear. If there is, I cant see it and its really really tight back there with all the looms tied up back there.

Pull the clip the other way, sort of a ratcheting type of feature.
