Tried to remove the stock HU from my 06,, and followed the instructions and got the "hidden" bolt. However the unit will slide out about 3 inches and it feels like the harness in the back is snagging on somethin,, tried a little more force but no luck. (dont want to pull the wires out of the back of the plugs) Any ideas on what is causing this??
Thanks

Sorry can't help other than to say walk away and cool off for a few minutes at the very least.
I was going to answer about the hidden bolt, but I see you got that so............
Try to get in there and take a look/feel as best you can.

Thanks, I was hoping that you would tell me to remove the wobble shaft from the flex plate.
It's a scratcher, no room to even peek to see what is holding up the progress.
Thanks

The wires need to be disconnected... the first that need to come out are the heater/ A/C ones.
