Default TRE help needed...In the process of replacing

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/32518/108_0849.jpg"></center><p>I have been trying to get the TRE end out for some time now and keep getting caught at the same exact point on both (left and rights) TREs. What could be holding it up from coming out? It moves freely up until this point and just stops. TIA for your help.

Default You must remove that bolt first.

Push the TRE up back into place, then push that bolt out through the back.

It locks the TRE in place so it can't fall out.

Because I can't use a wrench on it do I just use a hammer and punch it through?
