ECU box removal

Hey everyone, does anybody knows how to remove the black box on the passenger side of the engine, it holds the ECU and some other stuff, I cleaned my duo valve and i dropped a part under that bux and there is absolutly no room to go under there, plus there is a bunch of dirt thats stuck under there that i would like to clean up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I emailed you a Word Document of instructions that I got from PowerChip. When I have time I will convert it to PDF and upload it to DIY.

99CLK320,
ash, there are some mounting screws that are obvious but the electrical connections have locks that rotate to release the elec plugs if you are wanting to take it completely out. the locks or keepers are kinda of strange in the way they release and difficult to put into words and its been several months since I did mine when I sent it out for a chip tune. I just took my time and played with the locks gently until I figured out how they released. You will get it, just go slooooooooow. Jimmy, I would be courious to see your instructions also.

Thank you very much guys.
