Hi,

You have to screw it out.

its pretty tough to screw out. is there any tool that would help? my haynes manual says it should be pulled out.

You have to be careful with them manuals because they just assume that all of our model cars have the same engine. The 420a may pull striaght out but the 4G63 one has to be unscrewed.

i tried unscrewing it today and the part where the bolt holds it to the tranny cant go any further because its hitting a part of the trans. How exactly do you screw it out?

Line it back up and put the bolt back in. That part stays in the transmission. You are trying to unscrew the piece on top of that. It is serated and is shaped like a cap on a quart of oil. An adjustable pliers usually gets the stuck ones loose.
