Default removing wiring harness

hey everyone,

engine is a d15b2. there are two plugs from the wiring harness that are connected to the rear of the block, right above the oil filter, that i don't know how to remove. does anyone know how to remove them? sorry, i don't have a digi-cam or i'd take pics.

thanks.

I know the ones you are speaking of..

they have a black rubber cover on each of them..
GOOD LUCK getting the rubber piece off intact..

What you can do is make a small slit in the cover
and it might come off but usually it just crumbles in your hands..

As long as the wire and connector comes out intact it will be OK..

haha, yeah, those are the ones... is there any trick to removing them? or are they similar to the rest of the wires that i already disconnected?

After you get the rubber out of the way,They will pull straight off..
You can try something like a small prybar or a trim tool to get the
rubber out of the way and lubing it up might help but chances are,
You won't be able to save the cover..
{I recommend worrying about the wires themselves}

Pulling on the wire itself is not really advised
either as it will rip out uf the connector..

Yea they just slip right off. Well youll probably have to twist it from side to side to loosen it up a little...then it just pulls off. Good luck
