Expansion vavle help

I am 88% done trying to replace the expansion valve myself, proud to have everything including the glovebox removed, now the hard part. The rubber housing that holds the air filters and the expansion valve, I am stuck.

I have removed all visible bolts / screws (even the firewall one) and I can visibly see the expansion valve.....but I can't get to it because of the rubber housing.


Has anyone got past this step, am I missing a hidden bolt/screw somewhere??

thanks :D
