It should be just get under the dash, un do the rod, pop the (3 or 4 I can't remember which) nuts off and it SHOULD come out. SOME people pound a dent into the strut tower. You should HAVE to do this. As you pull it out, rotate it toward the motor. It helps to have a friend under the dash, tap on the back of the stud...one of them tends to hangup. Once its out, do yourself a favor and elongate the one hole that hangs up. Its a BITCH but it can come out. Hopefully yours is a GT and not a Cobra.
