Intercooler removal (arrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!)

[Frank Grimes]

In my infinite wisdom I decided to undertake the most difficult job known to man - getting the intercooler out of a (rev3) mr2 turbo. So far i've:

1) removed the intercooler pipes
2)removed the intercooler fan
3) removed the brake pipe thingy on top of the intercooler
4)removed the engine hook
5) removed the 3 bolts to the intercooler shroud

But I still can't get the damn thing out. What ever I seem to do to bring it out on a different angle it just catches on something else - i'm gradually losing my sanity . I've done various searches on here but the main thing just seems to be "keep trying and it'll eventually come out"...

Anyone?

thats how mine came out, although you can see from the pics it did have a bit of scrubbage on the side, but hey, it came out!
