my d16z6 is ready to come out and be swapped all except the main wiring harness. heres the problem, the clips will not come apart. weve pulled, searched, twisted, everything you can do w/ out breaking anything. weve pulled some apart, but the main ones(on the top right/left fender well on passenger and drivers side) will not budge. is there a special way to do this that we dont know about or a reason their not budging? heres a link to the pictures. please help!! thanks!http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...MXk1NDE%3D.jpg

Try pushing down on the tabs first.

Now seriously try pushing them together (while the tab is depressed mind you) and then pull them apart, maybe try jiggling it apart.

I know it probally feels like your gonna rip the wires out but sometimes you have to pull like hell, especially if they have never been pulled apart.

Hope this helps...

 

there is a little trick honda did the hole clips are actuallt attached to to pieces of metal bolted to the fender wall. you have to get the clips off the fender well first before the actually plugs will come apart.

 

everything that they said, but you can also put a small flat head screw driver in between where the harness attaches, and as you push the tabs, rotate the screw driver. This helps if they are stuck, so you dont have to pull on the actual wires.

what he said . you have to unclip it from the metal bracket first before you can unclip the two plugs apart.
