Hi everyone. I have a little problem when I try to remove the starter out from my car. There are some electrical connection as I shown in the red circle in the pics. How can I disconnect it to take out the starter? Do I just pull it out or twist it? I have removed the bolts already just need to remove this connection to take out the starter. Please help. Thanks.

one wire should be the starter solenoid wire [black/white stripe] it is just a pull off connection.
The other wire is the battery lead, under a rubber boot.
Unhook the battery negative lead, then peel back that big rubber boot on the starter and there is a 12mm nut holding the battery lead to the starter connection.

thanks hondadude. This is my first time to remove a starter. So just want to make sure not to break anything stupid.

I have just removed everything. Is there any special way to take out the starter? The space seems very tight to take it out.
