I am putting in gromlets in my firewall and I would like to know just how I take these wires out of this plug with out ruining it?

Also ,,if there is a better idea than me bolting the clip to my E-Brake Cable to the inner fender so to make it go through the gromlet at a straighter shot ,,I need to know now before I start up the drill motor.. thx

The elctric connections you take a small flat blade push in the side that connects to the other connector while doing this push the wire end in and the flat blade presses the keeper in and the connection comes out.
Not easy explaining but simple procedure.

Not the best picture but it's basicley the same. The metal slides into plastic and the metal barb clicks into place not letting it come back out inless you push it up with a small screw driver. Push the wire in a little and then push the screw driver in from oppiste side and it should come out.

I just took a steel wire (household insulation support) and ground it down to make my own really small screwdriver/pin extractor. Then I bent the other end of the wire into a Tee handle.
