EA81T fuel/intake electrical connectors

[Ever Victorious]

Yaay, I get to ask another stupid question!

 

I need to get the fuel lines and injectors swapped out, and XSNRG was kind enough to provide a whole new intake manifold with these pieces attached. Well, regardless of whether or not I use the manifold itself (right now I'm just pulling the lines and injectors, seems to be an easier swap), I still need to remove the sliced-up wiring harness off of the donor part. I've figured out all the bolts, and a couple of the electrical connectors, but there are a total of 6 connectors that I haven't been able to figure out how to disconnect, and I really need to figure out how to do it without damaging them (as I'm going to have to do the same to the harness that's actually IN the car)

 

They are the 4 individual injector connectors, the connector to some sensor that looks like it's on the top of the t-stat housing, and the connector to something on the TB (AIT? TPS?)

 

Anyway... I need to know how to get these off without damaging them. Any ideas?

There are paper clip size retainers on each plug in the shape of a U(but square). I take a pocket knife and pull the sides out and stick a peice of wire or something small innetween the plug and wire to keep it from locking in place again.

Thank you, after I read this I re-examined and saw the clips. I have a tool known collectively by the techs at work as the "tool of removing everything". It removes these quite nicely without the need for something to jam in place.

 

By the way... did I ever mention the injectors on this thing are a freaking nightmare?
