Ok, as far as I know you take the two nuts off and the MC should come off, right? WRONG!!!! I got both nuts off and one of the sides wants to come off but the other is stuck? Need Help! What should I try?

So you tried prying between the MC and Booster? When I replaced my MC for my Baer kit, the old one just unbolted and slid right off. There didn't seem to be any kind of binding at all.

Maybe put the nut back on the side that's loose and it'll un-bind the other side?

I'm thinking more along the lines of operator error :lol:

Lol highly doubt that.... shouldve let your ass come over and try it... I had three people try and pry that thing off... unless of course there were three cases of operator error?
