Default jet reinstall

You may remember my jetchip problems from a month ago when i had to take it out because it was loose. I thought I got the wrong model because my truck was failing to run and it wouldn't clip on...so I finally got some communication with jet and right away he said I was installing it wrong, because the model number was right. The instructions say to take the computer panel out of the firewall to stick it on but I didn't do that because I thought it was an extra step... but it turns out you have to do it so you can put your weight into it and relly shove it in. So my chip was loose because I couldn't get enough UMPH to clip it in i guess.... still worries me that the needles just slide in without gripping, but I would think making it clip in would be good enough.
OH and for you suspicious ones out there...when I was forced to take out the chip because of engine problems...the loss of power from a stop was immaculate. i couldnt relly see the change when i put it on because it had to program...but once it was in and i took it off, definately slower. That is, it was faster before the chip starting falling off.
oh yah anyways i gotta do that now, how do i get the computer off the firewall...easy?

all i did was unplug the number two connector and simply pushed it onto the connector. you do not need to remove the computer at all

cuban, i only have access to 91 fuel, but i did use that for improvement.
superdak...i talked to you about this before how it wouldnt fit, i think the only way is to take out the computer and relly shove it on until it clips, because i can't get behind it enough when its under the hood.
