Default CPS...HELP?!?!

So, I have taken on the wonderful task of trying to replace my CPS. Any hints? Tips? What size bolt? Is it easier to come from the top or bottom? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys!

I don't remember the size of bolt right off hand. I found it easier to get at it from the bottom with a couple of extensions and a swivel joint. A trick though to make it easier the next time you have to change the CPS is to cut slots into the mount for the CPS so instead of removing the bolts you loosen them and slide the CPS out. Becareful not to drop a bolt into the hole for the CPS.. it will go to the bottom of the bellhousing..

thanks guys!! I couldn't get it off and I went to the JY and grabbed a new computer and it seems to be running like a charm! Anybody know if I will have any problems out of this computer if it came out of a 92 2wd and mine is a 95 4wd? It looks identical and plugged in and seems to be working fine. Thanks guys!
