Is there a trick to getting it out of the engine block? I can get mine to twist but I cant get it to pop out. Bolt is out, unit twists, but I can't grab it with anything meaningful to pull it out. How did everyone else do it?
i'm hoping you got it out already, but I just removed this from an N55 engine that was removed from the vehicle. even with the engine out, it was extremely hard to get out. i was able to use a very thin pry bar to get behind the plastic flange and pry it out.
