i just made sure the back plastic shroud was loose so when i twisted the intercooler that moved the shroud enough to let the intercooler loose.

jeffd did a good write up on it, will go and find it for you :wink:

^^^^^ good write-up.

Just persevere with it and it will come out. Its one of those tasks which when it comes out, you will think why you didnt just angle/pivot it that way in the first place.

Good luck \:D/
