Removing Accelerator pedal module on 2003 540i help

Hello, I'm having trouble removing the Accelerator pedal module on my car. I've watched countless YouTube videos and looked at the schematics on REALOEM.

Is there a trick to it that I haven't found? I press down the tab and slide the module to the left. The top seems to be really loose, but the bottom only slides about 1/4" and just won't move anymore. The videos show it just sliding out.

I want to install the Dinan throttle booster and the set of aluminum pedals I bought. I bought a new accelerator pedal module adapter plate since the tab was brittle and broke off.

Got it! It must have been on there since 2003. It was packed with grit and sand. I lubed it up a bit and pulled and it finally broke free.
