the cruise control box under the dash is being a butthead and i cannot under any ammount of pressure unscrew the two retaining screws(i dont even think i can get to the back one by all the wires)

tips would be greatly appreciated, i think i have the right box(?) because i unhooked it and now the car will not accelerate when i push/pull/click the stalk on the wheel. i have heard this is most likely my problem because the cruise will accelerate, but not hold speed.

how did you guys(gals) get yours out?
