..... ..... Mine came out hard also , there's a couple of small bolts that hold it in , near the front, on sides. That's what I was sayin too .
oh I can see where they would be now on the above pics.....how do you get to them? I guess I need to yank the crossover off? I think I will do it with a candle burning....that'll get the rubber piece from hell off of it...

I think I may have made a mistake in my earlier post. I don't remember if there is a zip tie, some retaining rings, or some bolts holding the rubber piece in.

I do know that I pulled mine out when the crossover tube was disconnected and the tank was higher so I had more room to work with it.

The pic below my be useful...you can see some little tabs hanging off the front of the rubber gasket.

Thanks a lot for all the excellent support...Dawn is now my new favourite customer service lady......she laughs at my dumb jokes...

Dawn is good people.

I would give the W a try, 99% of the time they produce more power than the Q.

Looks good. How'd you secure the leather from slipping / flying away?

It is tucked under the console and made legs to wrap around the frame. I was thinking of 3m double sided tape if it moved, but hasn't.
