JB3 install

akak1997 · 12-06-2008, 04:46 PM

Hi all,
I'm trying to install JB3 on my 135 and I've got to the part where I've to remove the large connector from the ECU. The Slider on the large connector will not slide out. It's out 1/4" and it's stuck, very stuck. I've tried to use extra force, still won't even budge one bit. The smaller (passenger side) slides out very easily. What am I doing wrong? Help Please

thanks

I figured it out. I use a small screw driver, and use the ECU casing as leverage then just mm by mm loosen it up. The install guide said it shouldn't take much effort, but maybe it's for their car. Mine is not effortless for sure.

Hate it when that happens. Every job I think will take an hour takes 3
