The screw is removed from the heat exchanger to the shroud and the grommet on the air pipe is released. The shroud is unclipped on the driver side and the upper passenger side torx is removed.
Am I missing something??? This thing just will not lift any more on the driver side
Any help is much appreciated!!!

On This Video at at 4:49 Time:
Is this Rubber Grommet releases or not?



also is the Tranny cooler catching the Rad Fan in any way or not.

3rd point: try pushing up from under the Car and then you will see exactly where it is getting Caught.

4th Point, once it is lifted 2 inches as you stated, lift left and then right only.
which side is caught?
If Memory serves, Mine was not coming past 2 inches also.
and I am sure it was either this rubber slide in grommet or the tranny cooler catching an edge of the rad fan.
but after pushing it from the bottom and seeing where it was catching helped.

let us know how it goes.
