R8 5.2 - how do I remove the ECUs?

My car is still in the shop being wrapped as the hurricane left them without power for a few weeks. My audi dealer agreed to come pick up the ECUs and send them to Stasis for tuning provided I can get them out of the car. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions for removing them?

Remove carbon fiber side engine panels in engine bay
ECM's are on each side
Un bolt hold down screws
Then you will have 4 lock bolts on each ECM
We use cutting wheel to cut a flat groove through heads and use a flat head to loosen break away bolts

Not an easy job but definitely DIY. Good luck.

Dremmel did the trick to slot the bolts. A high speed and a 557 would have been quicker
