How to Extract Female pins from the ECU power harness?

joec500 · 05-26-2009, 04:00 PM

So I bought a new plug to replace the broken Green ECU plug, but I can't seem to figuire out how to extract the female plugs, they are in there REALLY tight.

Anyone ever done this?

Thanks!

I ended up just cutting up the OEM connector to get them out. I wasn't reusing it so it didn't matter. But I know what you are refering to, they do not want to release.
