I'm supposed to be pushing it inward, right?
I've got a prybar to it and it's not doing it's thang.

Should push in a little bit. There's a snap ring and a rubber seal. You might try rotating it to help unstick the seal. You'll have to lower the trans a little when it does come out, because it will hit the tunnel. Hope that helps.

I had a bar on there really hard, and i don't think it will turn. The cover did not go in a single bit. I might try a metal rod and beat the hell out of it with a hammer. The damn thing WON'T BUDGE.

Once it goes in, theres the clip to remove (at the bottom?) and the O-ring... Then I remove the Xmemb and lower the tranny slightly (careful to the dist cap) and access it that way?

It SEEMS easy enough, but the hardest part is always removal. I've spent twice as much removing things that I have putting them back on! Case in point, I still havent gotten my stock LCAs off!!!
