I found that leaving a few turns on the bolt that's easiest to get to, then undo the rest. This allows you to unplug and get the etm out without dropping it (like I did lol)
Another little tip... Clean it outside... Mrs. MRP said that discharging half a can of Wynn's carb cleaner in the kitchen was "a effin' stupid thing to do". Apparently the fumes from said carb cleaner are quite strong, although after a few minutes, I didn't care lol ;)
