I forgot to say... Once it is loosened from the rubber mounts it did just slide out from the bottom. I think I might have had to move something else but it was minor. Maybe loosed another hose - I'm thinking from the
oil cooler but it's been so long. All I can say is that it wasn't an intimidating job and I did it on jack stands all by myself, including putting the new unit in from the bottom. I think all totaled it took about 5 hours but that was proceeding cautiously. I learned a long time ago that in the disassembly of things undue force is never needed and if it is it's because something is still connected or in the way.
