I need help as fast as possible, as the wife is getting hot ..i.e, no air.

I am trying to pull the MCCU from a 91 740 for the wife's 93 940. I got it out ...almost.
The FAQ's say ...
Remove the climate control vacuum lines block. This is a single piece of flexible plastic, to which all vacuum hoses are molded. The hoses likely will be of different colors. To remove this connector from the back of the CCU, gently pry it off.

Well, for the life of me, I can't see how this flex block pries off. The colored hoses come in attached to a piece that is a thin part at the back with a metal plate between it and the rest of the that part.

Do I put my blade in where that metal plate is and separate it there? I started that, but it looks as if there are a bunch of springs in there, plus there is a screw that looks to hold that to the main part.

The other option is to pry that whole block away, but it looks to be a direct connection with the center turn dial on the outside.

Help me here if you can, fast !!
