Fixed!!! Norcold AC Heater Element

I have a model 841. I can access the element (barely) but am not sure how to remove it. I have read that it simple slides into a tube but mine seems to be stuck. Did not want to force it if it is secured in some way. Any ideas?

Updated--finally got the element out of the rusted holder and confirmed it was bad. Picked up a replacement and got it installed today. Everything is working great. Thank you all for the help.

    It should just slide out of sleeve......could be stuck due to stop bead being shoved down into sleeve or rusty
    Wiggle it back and forth to loosen....then pull up out of sleeve.

    TIP:

    It doesn't stay up in that sleeve by itself. It's best to remove enough insulation to see the end of the element and the attachment wires. My Norcold had a clamp.
