Default depinning at ecu?

I'm trying to pop a few pins at the ecu, but after an hour i give up. I cant get one of them out... IS there a trick to this?

I've tried doing it mostly from the front side, where the holes are, and using a pin/needle to play around and try to get the pin loose.

I can't get paper clips in through the front , they are too big

use an eyeglass screwdriver. you need a flat end. each wire ha a prong on the end. when going into the plug from the back, the prong is pushed down. once it passes a certain point the prong expands. all that you have to do is press on that prong with a flat edge from the front while pulling the wire from the back.

with all that said... don't do it.

i am assuming that you are plugging another wire into the existing hole.

cut the wires instead. that way if it all goes to ****, you can still tell where the wires were originally.

pull the plug apart, the sides like fold down. After that the wires come right out the back
