Heater resistor won’t come out

[J4keT66]

So I’ve stumbled across an annoying problem whilst trying to replace my heater resistor of my punto evo. I managed to disconnect the wires fine, but when I looked at the resistor there was no 5.5 screw there in the first place! Unless I’m having a really dumb moment, I really can’t understand why it’s not coming out. I’ve tried prying it with a screw driver but it just won’t budge. Any help/tips would be appreciated

This is what I’m dealing with

Is it possible the resistor slides to the left once you lift up the little tab slightly on either the bottom right corner or top left ? I’ve never done one but looking at the photos of new ones one eBay I’d try that.

Yes thank you. I tried pushing in the tabs but never thought about sliding it as well. It was an absolute bugger but managed to get it out after all that, cheers mate
